plenty of stuff can stop m855 but not a1
It sacrifices protection against 30.06
giving back what was lost
Their level 3 x plate
m855a1 is kinda anemic though out of short barrels, semi-failed its design criteria
Barrel life? Halved. Recoil? Increased. Chamber pressure? Too high.
It's m855a1 time
any 223 thats dependent on velocity is gonna suck out of short barrels
Do police usually have 855a1?
never
oh
No, but it'll start to trickle in in the next decade
Oh.
do any cops use ball ammo at this point?
Any cops? Yes. Significant amount? idk
they're just going to go with more and newer barrier blind soft points
if police dont have 855a1 then im not worried about it
If im going against someone that does then chances are im fucked anyways
I'm sure SWAT for big cities does
although we might see them take a different direction towards mil rounds as body armor continues to proliferate in conus
easy fix for that then
If anything Mk318 and Mk262 are going to be more likely police adoption rounds
Im not gonna live in a big city
Only problem being USMC issue makes production lower
Wouldn't be surprised if SWAT is starting to issue M855A1 from DOD gibsmedats
Can you buy m855a1 right now?
tsx barnes doe
don't have any knowledge about that tho so it's all hearsay
I never looked into it
yes
Yeah
off gunbroker easily, just expensive
You can but its not cost friendly
small arms procurement for small departments is usually done through the same channels we would buy guns
a lot of ARs in patrol cars are usually semi only
Think i just saw a listing for 10 bullets, not the cartridge, for 25 dollars
because NFA shit is still a pain in the ass even when you're the police
Yeah it's typically $1-$2 per round
I remember there was a big fuss about body armor
60 rds for 90 dollars
