Hello,
I was reading the various posts re: BAT 9mm. which I have a couple of boxes and saw mention of Thunderzap Ammo. I think that they are long out of business but I have a couple of boxes. .38 Special +P with a 32 gr. white nylon bullet. Flat tip with a deep funnel shaped hollow point. Velocity was supposed to be about 2600 fps from a 2" brl -2800 fps from a 4" - 3000 fps from a 6" brl. My cases are headstamped FC87 and probably were purchased around 1988. I have never shot the stuff but at close range it was advertised to be vicious stuff? It would lose velocity at a very rapid rate due to the light weight but at 5-10 ft. it would be really rolling. I also have some Kasner Turbo Grabber .38spl ammo which feature black ABS plastic bullets with a hollow point and little teeth at the front edges.The guy told me that they go about 4000 fps and weigh 13 gr. No recoil at all due to the very light weight. Never tried these either but am curious on how effective these ultra velocity lightweight bullets would perform at close range on human targets? Come to think of it I also have some .38 spl. ammo with 40 gr. teflon coated Alumnium bullets called Equaloy brand. Lots of fun old stuff! Non P+ and rated around 2200 fps.
