I have tested the miltary body armor with point blank plates.
They stop the green tips. (barely)
They don't stop anything moving faster, or most hunting rifles above a 30-30
243 right through with a deer round, we tried several, and all went through
270, and 7mm Mag, right through
300 winmag with a 180gr sp, almost went through both sides.
22-250 with a HP and a 50gr Vmax went right through.
All shots were at 100yrds. So if the reason is that it's something that will go through body armor as the excuse, there isn't a lot that doesn't do that, that is common and widely used.
Think about that.. Its a widely used, even the liberals admit that it's the most common, so they are going to ban it.. Never mind making the killing of a police officer a death penalty crime to deter people from shooting at the cops. The arguement is a straw man. How many police were shot and killed with m885 ammo? Less than were killed by drunk drivers (i would bet) or by any other host of reasons. The goal is to take away guns. So they came up with an excuse to take a bite out of the most common "scarry" gun they can.
