Armor-piercing ammo, the common kind, is just steel-core ammo. This is readily available in most calibers, esp. military calibers. (A less common kind is "KTW" handgun ammo, which is under some recent restrictions. And even less common, and almost certainly unavailable to the proles, are "sabot" rounds, some with tungsten cores.)
By the way, I keep hearing about these sabot rounds but do not know what they actually are. Could someone please explain. Thank you.
(There is little need for this, for even folks like us. We are not likely to want to disable fleeing vehicles, etc. And even conventional lead-core rifle rounds will cut through body armor easily, which is all I care about.)
Many people underestimate the power of most rifles. - Igor.
