Regulators say the so-called “green tip” rounds used with AR-15 assault rifles can penetrate bullet-proof vests, while critics say any potential ban is an attack on the Second Amendment. Mark Strassmann reports.

So it's ok for officers to fire these Nato rounds but not ok for civilians at gun ranges? dumb
Civilians need the same guns, ammo and gear as the military. Tyrannical government always wants to control us, we are already at a disadvantage
“In 2013 when the president urged to ban automatic weapons” automatic weapons are banned if they didn’t know
They wont and cant ban 223 or 556 because the ar15 isnt the only gun to shoot 223 or 556 I've even seen bolt actions that shoot the same ammo
In the beginning citizens had better ARMS than the SOLDIERS because the POLITICIANS were to cheap to CHEAP to give the MILITARY the BEST
Law abiding gun owners don’t shoot cops
ATFudd: "We don't understand why a civilian would need to walk around with a HANDGUN chambered with military grade armor piercing ammunition." The ignorance is appalling. Your argument is invalid. Feel free to ban ALL the green tip, military grade, armor piercing HANDGUN ammunition you want. Idiots. 🤡
One military one nation
Here in 2021
its not an assault rifle unless it has full auto.
False. Green tip will not penatrate body armor. Its been Prooved many many times.
Police don’t be gettin killed by ppl tho that be my thing they don’t want equal standing grounds
These rounds are made for long distance shots as the standard xm193 55grain bullet loses punch at distances over 200 yards. The standard bullets are more deadly at close range due to higher velocity which penetrates most armor anyway. This report is silly.
I love how the 2nd dude calls it an AR-15 "assault" rifle 1st dude got it right….. This is where misleading begins with terrible Media one siding the out look and creating names to make something sound worse than it is. Remington long rifle shoots 223s and 556 and it's a great hunting rifle but yet they say you can't hunt with an AR-15 that shoots the same ammo at the same speed at the same distance… It's frustrating how dumb we are becoming.
With joe pushing for a bloodbath in the streets of this country, they will become necessary.
Hahaha 🤣🤣 green tips are just standard full metal jackets not armor piercing.
Its NOT an ASSAULT RIFLE.
that is a BS label made up.by the Democrats
THIS IS BS. GREEN TIPS ARE NO MORE PENETRATING THAN THE REGULAR FULL METAL JACKET ROUNDS.
A pistol will mt get the armor piercing velocity
Got to love this BONEHEAD right of the BAT AR15 ASSAULT RIFLE!!!!!! GOT NEWS FOR HIM MY ARMOURLIGHT HAS NEVER ASSAULTED ANYONE!!! FAKE NEWS CBS REPORTS NEED TO BE BANNED!🤬
The only assault is coming from the government……
Green tips really arent armor piercing.
M855
FYI The M855's 62gr green tip projectile won't go through any body armor that a standard FMJ can't, basically any 5.56×45 load will punch clean though soft body amor worn by police. Ironically, only a 55gr bullet fired from a 20inch barrel has any chance of penetrating steel or ceramic rifle rated body armor, basically an retro style M16A1 configuration that has been around the longest is the ideal setup for putting tiny holes into stuff.
They arent armor piercing lol
What ammo? Good for target that's all
Imagine having a country that needs to debate whether or not to allow an object which primary function is to be used as a WEAPON in the hands of its citizens
Next they'll ban hollow point 9mm, or any +p pistol ammo
.223 .223 AR this AR that it makes me sick to think that people think it is the most powerful caliber out there people are obsessed with that Gun. Give me a .450 bushmaster or an AK over that any day —- how about a .308-
30-30 now your talking — I don’t care if they try to ban that platform as it’s not really my first choice to bring to the party…And there are so many others I have not even mentioned!!!
Without firing and making the SAME firearms as The British Army in 1776 America would not exist!
