    Thumbs down Judge Upholds Ban on 5.45×39 AK-74 Ammunition

    It's for the 7N6 type of ammo. Not the current ammo now.

    "Steel core" or "Tungsten core" or any other "special" ammo does not penetrate kevlar any better than ordinary lead core.

    VELOCITY is the key to penetration, not the composition of the projectile.

    Look up videos of guys firing high powered air cannons that launch a PING PONG BALL into a target at Mach 3 or better and see what a thin, flimsy hollow plastic ball does to the target.

    The 5.45x39 "armor piercing ammo ban" is a bullshit name. It should just be called the "another chip away at the Second Amendment" game.

    So, the Bulgarian stuff is still coming in? That's the Russian designation I believe... I prefer the Bulgy anyway.

    Ah, from reading at the link, it looks like all milsurp stuff is now banned -which includes the Bulgarian. Stupid.

    Glad I stocked up back when it was $100/case.
