Overview
Our bullet incorporates multiple innovations in both the design and manufacturing process to create the most effective Lazarus bullet possible. Although our first and highest priority is the preservation of life, the Lazarus bullet has been carefully tuned to match the caliber, expansion and penetration rates of regular handgun ammunition.

FBI Testing
We are very pleased to have had the opportunity to test our bullets' mechanical performance with the Bryan, Texas Police Department. Some of the important numbers tested are as follows:
- Penetration depth of 13” (est.)
- This figure surpasses meets the FBI's stringent depth parameter requirements of 12”-18”, and ensure that the Lazarus bullet can be relied on in both stopping power and deep, effective release of our blood-flow slowing biomaterial.
- Standard Deviation of 1.47 fps
- This is, by far, the best number we have seen for any 9mm bullet currently available in the market. Standard deviation represents a degree of accuracy that a bullet has achieved, and as such, represents consistency and reliability in firing.
- Expansion of 0.6”
- Our patented serrated design keeps the biomaterial intact while the hollow point forces the material to expand outwards. There is no standard number for expansion of a bullet. Although penetration is highly prioritized, consistent expansion is also an important aspect to be considered. We highly prioritize slow bleeding from gunshot wounds and, ultimately, reducing unfortunate deaths from bleed-outs.
- Weight Retention of 91.3%.
- This is a measure of fragmentation and how much of the bullet stays in one piece on contact with a wall/body. Our bullet has a lead core which is chemically bonded to the biomaterial and the outer casing. This is to reduce fragmentation to the bare minimum. We are repeatedly conducting tests to outperform these numbers and look forward to further innovation in this category.
Ballistic Testing
As part of the FBI testing process, we pitted Lazarus bullets against a variety of materials to ensure reliability in countless situations. We worked to replicate the testing protocol performed by the FBI to demonstrate our consistency with the numbers. Multiple rounds were shot in succession into the Bare Gelatin Block (6”x6”x16”) from a distance of 25 yards, for an accurate number retrieval on the penetration depth and expansion of the biomaterial. The different methods we used for testing are briefly explained below followed by a table of the results.
