New Controversial First-of-Its-Kind Ammo Claims to Offer ‘Peaceful and Natural Deterrent to Radical Islam’
New “Jihawg” ammunition claims to offer gun owners a “peaceful and natural deterrent” to the growing threat of radical Islam.
How? By putting pork in its ammo to make it “unclean” for radical Islamists.
“Jihadists fear being defiled by pork, especially during Jihad,” the company’s website says. “Jihawg ammunition is Haraam or unclean to the Jihadist. So when you hear the radical battle cry- “allahu akbar!” It’s time to put some ham in MoHAMed.”

The company also says it’s ammo is “made in the U.S.A. for your protection against hate.”
Attempts to contact the company were unsuccessful, however, the product appears to be more of a gag gift.
While some seem to like the concept, the controversial ammo has been met with some criticism, even among the firearms community.

Apart from this pork-paint being absolutely useless, it also raises legal questions. If you defend yourself with a pistol, the last thing you need or want is a prosecutor holding up a pork covered bullet in court and telling the jury that the person shot was a Muslim…
If you want to defend yourself, buy the most effective ammunition possible. Don’t buy crap covered in pork. As a community, we are better than this.
Steve Johnson, editor-in-chief of the Firearm Blog, told TheBlaze that a product like the “Jihawg” ammo “only serves to reinforce the negative stereotypes of gun owners that are so popular with the mainstream media and the anti-gun crowd.”
The product has also gotten some negative responses on Twitter (Warning: Some strong language):
