Extreme velocity, very special composition.
I have fired a couple of hundred rounds of the LeMas BMT on targets from steel, to drywall, to raw meat, to live tissue. I have seen several hundred more rounds fired. I can personally state that I have witnessed it to my satisfaction, and it does what they claim it will do. I cannot explain exactly how, but I am merely another knuckle dragging trigger puller, it is not my job to explain it.
I have seen a LeMas .300 Rem Ultra Mag blow a roast into pieces, some flying as far as 50 feet from the point of impact. The same round easily burned through steel armor plate, yet stopped in just a couple of sheets of drywall. I have seen it in live tissue, the bullet penetrates and disintegrates like an explosive went off in the wound. Frag dispersed as far as 20" from the wound channel, bones shattered several inches from the track of the bullet. Our Doc said that all he could do for a hit to an extremity was to amputate at the next higher joint, a body or head shot would be unsurvivable even if you were prepped and on the OR table when hit. I have put a LeMas .45 ACP round through my Para P-12 (with a 3.5" barrel) through 1/4" aluminum armor and 11 gauge stainless steel when a Hydrashok would barely dent it. Do a search on the site here for some more info and pics. Contact APLP for product info.

Frankly, I am at a loss as to why we are not currently using it for at least the SOF troops. There are apparently big players trying to squash it, a disinformation campaign by individuals who should know better, and rumors swirling about like the winds on a match day. Most recent one I heard was that they acknowledged its efficacy, but said that the woulds were "too horrible" for it to be approved for use, despite the fact that it is available in an open tipped match configuration that complies with all Protocols.
HTH, contact me if you want to communicate with someone not affiliated with the company who has seen it work, repeatedly.
