I know. Been looking myself.

The steel penetrator?

Overreach of government ? Perhaps trying to make the case to ban all rifle ammo that could pass through a bullet proof vest .

The liberal elite ... know that the people simply cannot be trusted; that they are incapable of just and fair self-government; that left to their own devices, their society will be racist, sexist, homophobic, and inequitable -- and the liberal elite know how to fix things. They are going to help us live the good and just life, even if they have to lie to us and force us to do it. And they detest those who stand in their way."

The steel penetrator?

Comparison-Chart.jpg

Above is a diagram of the M855 on the left. It is about 30% steel and 70% lead with a full copper jacket.

Per the definition, unless the penetrator is considered part of the jacket (which I don't think it is), even if used in a handgun its not armor piercing. M855A1 probably is I guess.

Armor piercing ammunition

18 U.S.C., § 921(a)(17)(B)

  • A projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or

  • A full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile.

Rereading the definition above bullet point two doesn't even apply because the round was not designed or intended for a handgun while it may be used in one.

So by definition, M855 is NOT armor piercing because it is not constructed entirely out of steel. It is still a majority lead round.
