I was thinking the TLR might perform similarly to the NP b/c they are both "bonded" and the solid copper or antimony base of the TLR is probably similar in performance to the construction of the partition - in that the base retains close to it's full weight after expansion. Obviously, the boat tail of the TLR would help to increase range. I'm not sure what benefit is gained from the polymer tip - initiating expansion, meebe?

I have not heard of the Terminal Ascent. I will take a look.

Thanks.
