Preferred Defense™

ADVANCED PERSONAL DEFENSE AMMUNITION.

The ARX® is a revolutionary bullet in every sense of the word. From the way it’s manufactured, to its shape, to the way it transfers energy to the target. The non-expanding ARX is injection-molded from a specially blended polymer-copper matrix that is designed to be tough enough for an all-purpose defense round.

Upon entering soft tissue, the specially designed grooves in the nose harness the soft tissue and constrict, pressurize and eject it at 1.5 to 2 times the directional speed of the bullet. This is the well-known Venturi Effect. As the bullet penetrates, it tumbles in a controlled, predictable fashion that delivers consistent terminal performance that equals or exceeds conventional hollow-point designs without over penetrating.

Inceptor® ARX Preferred Defense rounds are designed to function in all weapons, including large-frame handguns, carbines and automatic weapons. Due to the lightweight ARX bullet, it has a low-recoil signature for increased follow-up accuracy in critical defense situations.

FEATURES.

PATENTED DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY

From the research and development laboratory of Inceptor Ammunition, the Inceptor ARX is the next-generation of defense ammunition. Through advanced design and materials science, the ARX uses fluid dynamics and non-expanding surface area instead of expansion to achieve terminal performance. Patent No.: US 9,841,260 B2

ENGINEERED FLUID DYNAMICS

Hydraulic displacement produces devastating wound channels rivaling and exceeding traditional expanding bullets.

LATERAL FORCE

The ARX bullet’s hydraulic displacement effect is achieved by the ARX technology. The ARX flutes – grooves on the nose of the bullet – have wide mouths and narrow exit points. When combined with the bullet’s forward velocity into soft tissue, the design of the ARX flutes causes an increase in pressure of the fluid. As a result, the fluid is laterally ejected from the flutes at a higher velocity than the actual speed of the bullet itself, creating the massive cavitation and wound channels seen in the ARX gelatin tests.

SPECIALLY ENGINEERED PROFILE

Because it has no hollow-point or sharp edges on the nose of the bullet, the ARX feeds like a round nose, yet retains stopping power and terminal performance that exceeds many expanding handgun bullets.

PRECISE

Injection-molded ARX projectiles deliver exceptional accuracy.

HIGH VELOCITY

Achieves higher velocity and higher energy than many other defense rounds, yet imparts less recoil for quicker on-target follow-up shots.

ADVANCED MATERIALS

Performs in a wide range of conditions and weapons systems.
