60. "assault weapons" aren't armor piercing..
Edited on Sat Mar-19-11 10:37 PM by X_Digger
There is no magic 'assault weapon' caliber that's supah dupah strong. They use the same rounds as grandpap's hunting rifles. 5.56 x 45mm is the same as grandpap's .223. 7.62 x 39 is similar to grandpap's 30-06.

The latter two examples you mention, being defensive in nature, not offensive, would not justify an APC (a defensive vehicle)- they would justify weapons that the police already have access to- armor piercing ammunition.

I know, I know, you're terrified of things you don't understand. Please do some actual research and get back to us.
