“Does this round do away with the lead core?”

The film says there is no lead.

Yep.

One of those unintended consequences of letting the screeching green-weenies out of their cages.

Not a scrap of lead in it.

We never heard anything about the cartridges used either by Zimmerman or the retired cop in the theater that shot the text dude. Both were one shot kills with what I consider a small caliber. The bullets did the job.

Depending on where you live, you may not want to give a rabid anti-gun prosecutor an opening. If you’re in a different situation go for it.

Years ago I reloaded some 12ga rounds with cut copper wire about 1/8th in diameter, the amount of damage they did was spooky.

Non-toxic, therefore healthy.

Its just a fragmenting bullet.

Will it do the damage of a Glasser Saftey slug?

What will the prosecuting attorney have to say about you using a personal defence round named “RIP”?

Meh. More like a ninja throwing star. Hollows work just fine.

"I think a ballistic vest will easily stop them as they would fragment quickly"

They're awfully sharp. Looks like they penetrate well, then decelerate.

Will cost and availability be better than 22lr ammo right now?

A flack vest is filled with fiberglass strands that catch the sharp irregular shapes to protect the wearer. The so called cop killer bullets were hard with a Teflon coating that would help penetrate.

That would be good for perspective marking. No one buys more ammo than LEOs and LEOs don't like rounds that go through their vests.

In close quarter combat like room clearing you don't want a round that can go through dry wall and your partners vest who is clearing the next room.

Me also. Cast lead works great on paper indoors.
