I doubt it has any problem penetrating windshields.
Just what I have seen when we where checking loads at work. The windshield strips the bullet and only the penetrator goes through. As I said the Penetrator goes through but if I remember right it weighs 20 grs or less. On target it was hard to figure out what was the penetrator and what was glass fragments. With the decreased accuracy of the green tips at longer ranges we did not go with it.
Surprisingly it is the same result with many of the 223 bullets. Only quality bonded bullets penetrated windshields well. If I remember correctly the Barnes TSX was best bullet but was not in the Dept price range, and of course quantity was going to be an issue, and it is a non-issue with our dept until we no longer have M16 AI LESO rifles.
Many PDs don't use it because it doesn't accomplish what it was billed to do.

Yes, M855.
No it isn't "armor piercing".
You're thinking of the SS109's

no green tip 5.56 ammo is absolutely no considered armor piercing, otherwise it would not be available commercially for sale. It is called a penetrator tip, which technically is different from armor piercing. AP ammo is not legal to be sold to the public as far as I know
