Here is the rifle I wish I could locate (but it shoot a highly proprietary round): <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XPLgAKwEIT8&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XPLgAKwEIT8&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Why not just get the HK MP7?
Unfortunately, no. The proprietary round they use can penetrate class II and class IIIa body armor. In the hands of bad guys this would pretty much neutralize anything law enforcement officials have aside from armored vehicles. Not that the MP5 was legal, anyways.
Can a 223 and 556 penetrate body armor ? I get different answers on this question.I seen in the video they showed that a 556 could penetrate body armor but I was told by some that only a 308 and 3006 could
Yes. Level I, Level II and Level IIIa are easily penetrated by both. Anything through Level IIIa is 'soft' armor (usually layered Kevlar), while Level III and IV are hard plate armor, typically of the ceramic variety. Some Level III, depending on design and manufacturer, can allegedly stop 5.56x45mm fired from an AR, but I sure wouldn't want to volunteer as a test subject. Level IV can sometimes stop even 30.06, which is pretty amazing, but there are some variables in the equation.
The P226 and CZ-75 are two of the best 9mm's ever produced. Utterly reliable and incredibly accurate. Most people don't know that the 226 is on the same basic platform as the 220, which is the[/i[ legend, but unlike the 220, the 226 can be had in .40S&W and .357Sig, also. The CZ is a screaming bargain also.
I love Sig's too.The Secret Service carries Sig's,The Air Marshals carry Sig's,and Navy Seals Carry Sig's.Cant get a better endorsement then that. I just wish Sig would come out with a Smaller 9,40 ,or 357 Sig gun.The 239s are nice but I think they are to big and heavy for the number of rounds they hold.I love how slim they are though
