10-4, I was being a little facetious when I mentioned the velocity issue. I was stirring the serious pot these gentlemen are cooking, because I don't believe the velocities discussed are sufficient for true hard armor AP capability.
However, I'm wondering now if I can drive a 110 grain AP round at 2800 FPS if it will penetrate 1/2 steel, which has been my test medium so far. If so, I think that would get through hard armor as well.
Going to have to give it a try!
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
