I'm pretty sure all the steel core 5.7x28mm is considered armor piercing handgun ammo and is therefore limited to law enforcement.[1] I've never seen steel core

- collegeburner 5y agoSadly yeah, it's one in a massive list of stupid laws but FOPA states anything that "may be used in a handgun" if I'm remembering the wording right. I believe they submitted the duty round for the NATO RFP tho and that's steel penetrator. If i remember right blacktip .223 is similarly banned because of AR pistols, you can basically only get AP in full rifle rounds (.30-06) or something like .50 BMG.
