Assault rifles are rare and expensive, but legal in most states. They are tightly controlled at the federal level, and no new ones have been allowed since 1986. Armor piercing rounds are legal to sell, purchase, own and shoot. Steel-core rounds are illegal to manufacture or import. Teflon-coated rounds are a fantasy. They exist, but do absolutely nothing to make them more effective - instead, they are intended to extend the life of a gun's barrel by limiting wear. Tanks are not illegal.

Training rounds are (e.g. chalk) are unregulated. I oppose all firearms regulation, period - but let's get our facts straight. :)
