	Bullet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original musket bullet was a spherical lead ball two sizes smaller than the bore, wrapped in a loosely fitting paper patch which formed a tight seal so the full pressure of the expanding gas would propel the bullet.
		Another method of stabilization is for the center of mass of the bullet to be as far forward as practical as in the minnie ball or the shuttlecock.
		Armor Piercing: Jacketed designs where the core material is a very hard and high-density metal such as tungsten, tungsten carbide, depleted uranium, or steel.

	Armor piercing round - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Armor-piercing ammunition is used to penetrate hardened armored targets such as body armor, vehicle armor, concrete, tanks and other defenses, depending on the caliber of the firearms.
		Teflon-coated bullets were meant to help reduce the wear on the barrel as a result of normal operation.
		Teflon coating was a trend that has largely faded, in part because of laws resulting from this misconception; there was a brief moral panic over these "cop-killer bullets", which were said to have been designed to penetrate the body armor worn by police.

	Ammunition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But in the Middle Ages, the archers and crossbowmen had to replenish the shafts and bolts expended in action, and during a siege, stone bullets of great size, as well as heavy arrows, were freely used.
		The missiles of those days were however interchangeable, and at the battle of Towton (1461), part of the War of the Roses, the commander of the Yorkist archers induced the enemy to fire arrows in order to obtain them for firing back.
		The Lee-Metford bullet of 0.303 inch (7.7 mm) diameter can scarcely be used in a rifle of smaller caliber, and in general the minute accuracy of parts in modern weapons makes interchangeability almost impossible.

		The rimfire type was superseded by the modern center-fire cartridge, in which the primer composition is contained in a soft metal cup assembled in a recess at the center of the base of the cartridge case and is connected with the propelling charge by a small vent.
		During World War I, the development of armored vehicles, especially the tank, forced the adoption of the armor-piercing bullet, in which the lead slug within a copper-nickel jacket was replaced by a hardened steel core capable of piercing the armor plate.
		Incendiary bullets were developed in the period between World War I and World War II to attack effectively the many gasoline-powered vehicles used in military operations, including tanks, armored cars, airplanes, and motor torpedo boats.

		It specified general procedures and specific types of bullets and velocities to be used in tests to determine whether samples of armor had certain types of ballistic resistance defined in the standard.
		The distinctions between body armor model and style were established to eliminate the necessity of retesting a given body armor model for compliance with the NIJ Standard each time a manufacturer incorporates the model into [a] different style of armor.
		NIJ should specify the types and degrees of injuries and incapacitation by penetrating and nonpenetrating bullets that the armor is to prevent and the maximum acceptable risks of such injuries and incapacitation (as well as the statistical confidenc with which acceptable risk must be demonstrated).

		While AB 99 is primarily a restatement of existing California law, it does clarify that the armor-piercing bullet ban does not apply to rifle or shotgun projectiles, nor does it apply to bullets designed for hunting purposes.
		Although in theory, the lack of a bullet proof vest definition could present a problem, it is unlikely to become a matter of practical concern.
		Law enforcement agencies have resisted efforts to define bullet proof vests for armor piercing bullet purposes because of a concern that publishing much standards would give criminals guidelines for the design and acquisition of bullets that could pierce a bullet proof vest, and thus kill or injure the wearer.

		A parallel but slightly different set of standard “protection levels” is defined by the Personal Protective Armor Association; their levels run from A to E, with A offering the least protection.

		Many do not because they find it uncomfortable, although continued improvements in the aramid fiber from which the armor is made (almost always, Dupont's Kevlar) have made today's armor lighter and less bulky than the original product.

		In the last entry I posted from Gunsmith W., he stressed that velocity, not bullet composition, was the primary requirement for a projectile to be "armor piercing".
		Reactive armor is designed to direct the blast of a HEAT round fired by another tank or TOW-armed Humvee away from the tank via another explosion.
		If you have spaced armor, with the slope different, you get the effect of turning the penetrator even more, and with clever design, the second layer of armor either puts enough bend into the penetrator to break it, or the penetrator strikes the second layer sideways.
