[Haysville, Ohio]— HOP Munitions is proud to announce its partnership with RoboRounds to manufacture and distribute Electrically Disruptive Projectiles (EDP) for 9mm, .45 ACP, and 12-gauge shotgun rounds.

This groundbreaking ammunition is designed to address modern threats posed by drones, robotics, and exoskeletons, making it a game-changer for security forces, law enforcement, and private users.

HOP Munitions remains committed to pushing the boundaries of ammunition technology to meet evolving threats. The Electrically Disruptive Projectiles initiative is a testament to our mission of innovation, precision, and reliability in modern defense.

What Are Electrically Disruptive Projectiles (EDP)?

EDPs are specially designed rounds with an advanced compound capable of disrupting electrical and mechanical systems.

Upon impact, these projectiles deposit 3-5 grams of a proprietary powder designed to incapacitate devices by targeting critical components like cameras, LIDAR, and electro-mechanical systems.

The compounds used in these rounds range from magnetic materials to whiskering compounds, each tailored for specific applications. The disruption is cumulative, with repeated hits amplifying the effect until the target system is entirely disabled.

This innovative solution provides a practical alternative to electromagnetic pulses (EMP), offering precision and scalability.

Why EDP? Meeting the Modern Threats

From hostile drones flying over military bases to autonomous robotic systems, the need for effective countermeasures has never been greater.

Reports of drone swarms and their potential uses in surveillance and attack scenarios underscore the urgency of this technology. EDP rounds offer an immediate and reliable solution to neutralize such threats.

Target Applications:

-Drones: Neutralizing surveillance or delivery drones.

-Robotics: Disabling autonomous machines.

-Exoskeletons: Countering advanced systems used in military or industrial applications.

HOP Munitions’ Role

As RoboRounds’ manufacturing partner, HOP Munitions will produce and distribute EDP rounds, leveraging our expertise in innovative ammunition solutions.

Our initial focus is on the .45 ACP and 12-gauge slug, with prototypes showcasing significant payload capacities and efficiency.

.45 ACP: A hollow-point design capable of encapsulating up to 4 grams of compound, sealed with a precision 3D-printed cap for reliability.

12-Gauge Slug: Designed for larger payloads, these slugs offer unparalleled effectiveness against high-tech targets.

While development of the 9mm variant is ongoing, HOP Munitions is committed to ensuring reliable and consistent performance across all calibers.

Available to All Markets

In alignment with our principles of accessibility, EDP rounds will be available to civilian, law enforcement, and military markets. Whether defending infrastructure, protecting privacy, or enhancing public safety, EDP rounds are indispensable for modern defense.

Market Timing and Future Plans

HOP Munitions plans to introduce EDP rounds to the market at the upcoming SHOT Show, showcasing their potential to revolutionize counter-technology defense.

With interest from law enforcement, government agencies, and the private sector, we anticipate high demand for this cutting-edge product.

While the .45 ACP and 12-gauge slug are production-ready, the 9mm round is being refined for optimal performance. HOP Munitions is working closely with material science experts to finalize this innovative addition to the EDP lineup.

Built on the revolutionary NAS3 two-piece shell case, which is twice as accurate and 50 percent lighter than traditional brass, Shell Tech Ammunition offers superior ammo rounds in 380 ACP, 9mm, 556 NATO and 300 BLK for sports shooters, hunters, and personal defense.

Eubank, KY (November 2024) – Shell Shock Technologies, LLC. (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry with the 2015 introduction of the revolutionary Nickel Alloy Shell (NAS3) ammo case, is pleased to announce the next step in the company’s evolution: Shell Tech Ammo available in 380 ACP, 9mm, 556 NATO, and 300 BLK. The newly relaunched Shell Tech website features premium factory-direct ammunition that competes with traditional brass pricing while offering consumers high-quality, advanced ammunition that outperforms brass.

Shell Tech Ammunition is produced in a state-of-the-art factory in Calhoun, Georgia and is up to 30 percent lighter than traditional brass case ammunition. The lightweight cartridge allows for superior accuracy and velocity. The weight reduction also reduces the weight of a full magazine, hence reducing shooter fatigue while training, competing, or in the case of an extreme conflict. Every round is hand-inspected and the exceptional strength of each round ensures consistent performance with a greatly reduced risk of failure. The Shell Tech patented design which features a unique interior “wave” feature, pushes the projectile into the barrel rifling for enhanced alignment, significantly increasing accuracy and velocity.

“After our successful launch in 2015, Shell Shock Technologies shifted its engineering focus from high-volume pistol cases to rifle and military machine gun rounds,” Peter Foss, CEO of Shell Shock Technologies, explained. “While our move into rifle and machine gun calibers caught the attention of defense contractors, we also continued to pursue the American civilian market through the development of the most popular calibers used for personal defense, conceal carry, sport shooting, and hunting. Currently, we are working on the much-asked for 7.62 hunting round to add to our available in-house stock.”

Part of the company’s strategic initiative includes launching a consumer-based brand of ammunition that focuses on delivering the same high-quality, advanced ammunition in popular calibers for sport shooters, hunters, and self-defense. By bypassing the middleman, SST can pass significant cost savings directly to consumers through its website. In addition, consumers can save even more through the Shell Tech Subscription plan that offers up to 15 percent off a subscription purchase, every one, two, or three months.
