The Armor Piercing Cavitator (APC) is capable of penetrating most barriers, including Level III-A body armor. The unique design of the tip not only allows phenomenal barrier penetration, but it is amazingly dynamic when encountering tissue. Hollow point designs tend to under-penetrate unless they fail to open and over penetrate. Since the APC does not deform, it has a scientifically designed and failsafe wounding mechanism, as well as a reliable method to limit over penetration unlike any other round capable of penetrating armor. The APC has little to no deflection in auto glass. Although the muzzle velocity and energy are extremely high for the caliber, this round has noticeably reduced felt recoil and muzzle climb during full auto fire.

G9’s First Response uses the Armor Piercing Cavitator (APC) technology and is an extremely capable barrier round. Although this design does not expand, it uses hydraulic forces to enlarge the wound and destroy tissue by focusing high velocity castoff.  This dynamic could be visualized as similar to a water jet that is able to cut through steel.  The First Response has little to no deflection in auto glass.  Although the muzzle velocity and energy are extremely high for the caliber, this round has reduced felt recoil due to its lower inertia.
