Breaking Down the Lazarus Bullet

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. 

​FEATURES :
  • Core-Bonded Design to prevent fragmentation in the body
  • Hollow Point Design to encourage release of biomaterial
  • High Density Base Design  to encourage optimal penetration
  • Serrated Casing to encourage controlled expansion

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. 

Some of the tests performed with the Gelatin Block:
  • Heavy Clothing
    • ​We used the same fabric mentioned in the FBI clothing test and the 4 different fabrics were placed together in front of the Gelatin block The fabric used was:
  • Cotton t-shirt material
    • ​Approximately 5.25 ounces per yard, 48 threads per inch
  • Heavy cotton shirt material
    • Approximately 3.5 ounces per yard, 80 threads per inch
  • Malden Mills Polar Tec 200 fleece
    • ​Advanced, thick fabric for more comprehensive testing.
  • Cotton denim
    • ​Approximately 14.4 ounces per yard, 50 threads per inch
  • ​Steel
    • ​Simulating an extra-thick car door
  • Wallboard
    • ​To match a the composition of a house's dry-wall.
  • Plywood
    • Comparable to common home construction materials.
  • Automobile glass
    • Compound angle test shooting through curved car-glass.
