Product Description
Frangible Ammunition represents the first viable revolutionary change to firearms science in the past 100 years! A polymer-compound round that produces no splashback and vastly decreased ricochets, frangible ammo is ideal for marksmanship training for both indoor and outdoor ranges, tactical team training, close-in engagement of metal targets and specialized service use. As such, it is the safest full-power training ammo for police and military shooters, civilian range owners and casual shooters. Despite its widespread acceptance, however, there has been no in-depth study of this cutting-edge round . . . until now. This book remedies that by teaching the potential user what a frangible round is, what they can and cannot be used for, how to construct safe training devices and facilities and the proper street and service uses for the round.

Not what I expected - but thorough April 20, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As an NRA-Certified instructor, I was looking for an objective reference to include in my classes on ammunition selection for personal protection. Of 176 pages, only 1.5 pages are devoted to the topic of self defense and even this is somewhat misleading, inferring that a frangible bullet is less likely to penetrate house walls. Confirmation from two frangible manufacturers confirms that these bullets will penetrate up to 3 drywalls, thereby refuting the marketing claim that these are appropriate for apartment dwellers. At any rate, what this book does well is outline the many considerations for Police Training Departments and Range Managers. The coverage seems to stray in areas, for example getting into detailed discussions on how to be an effective instructor. For what appears to be an intended audience of Police Training and Range Management, I think it hits the mark.
