A: RHT stands for Reduced Hazard Training. It's just a brand name – these are otherwise normal frangible bullets.

A: Thanks for reaching out Brian! A solid point frangible bullet like this may fragment a little bit as it penetrates ballistic gel, but it will for the most part stay intact like a regular FMJ. Total fragmentation can only occur when the bullet strikes a harder surface than itself.

A: Let's do a little math. For the sake of this exercise, let's assume all cartridges have five grain propellant charge weights and we are firing a 1.32 lb Glock G19. Under those conditions this 100 grain cartridge would have a recoil energy of 4.77 ft lbs. If the bullet weighs 115 grains and has the same muzzle velocity, recoil energy increases to 6.15 ft lbs. If the bullet weighs 124 grains and has the same muzzle velocity, recoil energy energy becomes 7.06 ft lbs. Of course muzzle velocities vary significantly from cartridge to cartridge, and the recoil you'll actually perceive is highly subjective.
If you'd like to play around with recoil energy math yourself, then I'd recommend this online tool: robrobinette.com/Gun_Recoil_Calculator.html
