This is not an amour piercing round, it is a high powered round that will go through a bullet proof vest. Big difference.

a .223 is NOT an armor piercing round. It is a rifle round, and police normally wear ballistic vests that are effective against handgun rounds, but not rifle rounds. You'd think that the police would know better, but anything that makes them look more in peril, and the arrested folks more dangerous works for their cause....
