Responding to a request from special forces groups, Liberty Ammunition created the new OVERWATCH line. After testing Civil Defense, these groups were impressed by the way the projectile erupts upon impact. The only concern was the lack of penetration. Liberty Ammunition addressed this issue! OVERWATCH projectiles are designed to function similarly to Civil Defense projectiles but offer increased weight for deeper penetration. Capable of penetrating 12in-16in in gel blocks, the Overwatch lineup prioritizes Maximum Organ Displacement, or MOD. As always, Overwatch ammunition projectiles are crafted from solid copper alloy!

These are way over priced and for what? 10% heavier at best? Meaning it simply goes a little deeper into the threat… but who cares?! As long as it goes in and all Liberty’s ammo more than does, than does it really matter if it goes 12” in like normal better FULLY NICKEL coated rounds do compared to these SUB PAR cheaper finish coated casings that is simply a gimmick as I guarantee you the black finish isn’t as good and easy to clean as nickel that go in best case 16”. These stats I got directly from the mouth of a liberty employee(check for yourself). I myself am not barely 16” thick as a guess, being 6.2’ and 185 pounds being bigger than most all normal sized people can’t imagine over penetration wouldn’t be a very big issue. And worst part at $54 a box of $20… is it Covid again?! Don’t pay this way over inflated price and instead checkout other companies that have more effective rounds for around half less the cost like the external hollow point type rounds that look similar to a phillips head screw driver. FYI… shooting these and the better nickel coated versions is the same and seriously doubt a measly ten grains of weight will give a huge difference in penetration and again if it does, then I’d rather the threat catch my projectiles than the innocent that could be behind it! Way over priced.

Great ammo. I have read the previous 1-star review and agree with the penetration issue. I have spoken to the factory myself and this was developed to meet FBI standards for penetration, since the government insists on meeting those standards. I disagree with the difficulty in cleaning the "black" casing residue. It is very easy if you use a good solvent cleaner and clean your guns regularly. I usually do mine after about 300 rounds. In addition, it definitely decreases recoil. Shooting this out of my Staccato XC which has a compensator it almost feels like shooting a 22.If you are hard core and wish to have ammo that meets FBI standards this is the one.
