You can just buy an MRAP yourself

pretty sure all excess ammo is just shot off or destroyed

There's nothing regulated about it

Yeah, don't think the military likes to keep ammo around

when it could just be used for extra range time or some shit

Ok im sure swat does not actively carry AP rounds but will have it ready if needed

Most LE use some form of 77 grain OTM 5.56 in their patrol rifles.

reminder that the government is so far behind the times that they consider armor piercing handgun ammo an unacceptable threat to police, but not armor piercing rifle rounds

nah they're fully aware

all of their swat officers have rifle plates that can more or less stop them

but the vests that they're worried AP pistol ammo can penetrate, can all be slotted by any rifle

its penny wise and pound foolish

But thats why hard plates on beat cops exist too 🤔

but then why ban the pistol ammo

or their focus on having officers have shit in their cars

cause they can

AP handgun rounds would probably easily be stopped by level 3 plates.

and they haven't bothered to update shit

the real answer is because nobody actually shoots anyone with a rifle in this country

The legislation against the pistol ammo happened long before big advancements in armor technology. Back in the day cops had soft armor only basically.

It only makes sense if you see it as an incremental infringement

Am I reading this right? 3810 can stop 6 of the first 5 rounds and then 3 rounds each of the last two or thats how many rounds it takes for penetration for that specific round?

If you examine it at face value it seems absurd

it's how many they can take

@|||ST yes

thats how it works

its or, not and

don't listen to anyone else

listen to me

it helps for the plate to build up resistance with the smaller rounds

Is that impacts in the same location?

@CTL all those rounds on the same plate or nah?

Pistols kill far more than any other weapon. Cops didn't used to have ready access to lightweight high level armor. AP handgun rounds could penetrate their soft panels. Banned. It's still an infringement, but the argument for officer safety is pretty strong.

go read the testing criteria

Tldr that for me

yes? @|||ST

tf kind of question is that
