I get that the laws don't seem to make much sense and that most people don't understand the capabilities of the different types of bullets. The M855 does seem to have more ability to penetrate through things that would slow down or stop bullets without the steel tip.
In any case, I was being called "stupid" for not being able to "prove" that the M855 was "armor piercing".
Part of the problem is that "armor piercing" has more than one meaning. It can mean the legal definition, or the actual ability to pierce armor plate -- or possibly even just able to not get slowed down by things like glass or trees. And the legal definition doesn't necessarily mean that it can go through armor plate.
But I found it interesting to learn about these things in spite of all the name calling.
One further thing about the law -- it seems that ATF can add bullets to the list of "armor piercing" without having to go through congress.
They haven't seemed to have done this yet with the M855 as far as I have seen, although they've been saying they're going to.

For the third time,
What evidence do you have to support your claim that m855 is armor piercing?
What would you consider evidence that it is not armor piercing? I have already provided you with a penetration test that contradicts your claim but for whatever reason, that's not evidence.
And regardless of how it is defined, why should m855 be banned?
Just a little life tip i've picked up over the years: if you make a claim you should be able to prove it or at a minimum provide solid evidence to support it. You have done neither.

Yup. I believe this thread is one of the only instances I have ever intentionally insulted a shroomerite (only other that comes to mind is AF's stunt in the thread about that guys son dying from SIDS), which says a lot as I have bitten my tongue a lot over my 4k posts an countless idiotic arguments with shroomery liberals.

Maybe the core of the "banning" problem is that police don't want to have to wear armor plates inside their vests and bullets that kill animals can penetrate kevlar.
Ultimately it's ending up at banning all hunting bullets.

In any case, I was being called "stupid" for not being able to "prove" that the M855 was "armor piercing". it actually works counter to what yoo would expect, it's a ballistic tip type of ammo. the steel tip causes more deformation, "mushrooming" it actually slows the bullet down once it's penetrated into the target. it will also cause faster fragmentation

3/4 of the people in the military dont know, it's always been speculated that AP always means armor piercing and with the bullets being listed on websites as a 'green tip penetrator' it makes it that much more plausible, people selling and in the know dont always correct people on these myths and after a thusand times of telling people they arent armor piercing it gets old and you want them to keep looking like a fool as if he were talking about the orange juice guy
the law on what it considered armor piercing is actually pretty clear but like with a lot of other things there will alsways be those that will interpret it their own way

Except that they don't have to follow the definition. The following article says they can pick and choose which bullets to call "AP" according to whether they think that it's use is primarily "sporting".
The legal definition doesn't say that it has to be able to go through a certain thickness of armor plate -- (at least the definitions that I've seen.)
"Feb 24, 2015 @ 02:19 PM Why Is The ATF Moving To Ban Common Rifle Ammo?
Frank Miniter
Contributor
Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
Gun-rights groups are in an uproar over an ammunition ban proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The ATF says it wants to ban M855 ball ammunition, a .223 (or 5.56 mm) rifle bullet that has been used by American citizens for decades. The ATF says it wants to ban this popular bullet because it is “armor piercing.”
The law at the basis of this debate is the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA). As amended, the GCA prohibits the import, manufacture and distribution of “armor piercing ammunition” as defined by a few terms Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is attempting to broaden.
The definition for what constitutes “armor piercing” reads: “a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely … from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium.”
Now, to be as nitpicky as the law, the M855 ball ammunition the ATF wants to ban as “armor piercing” doesn’t have a core made of the metals listed in what legally makes a bullet “armor piercing.” The M855 actually has a lead core with a steel tip. Also, the M855 is traditionally a rifle cartridge and the ban only covers handgun ammunition. The DOJ argues this doesn’t stop them because the law stipulates they can ban a bullet that “may be used in a handgun.” And, after all, any cartridge may be used in a handgun.
Still, the definition has another condition. According to law, when ammo is made for “sporting purposes” (hunting, recreation shooting and so on) it is exempt from this ban. According to the DOJ the “GCA exempts ammunition that would otherwise be considered armor piercing if the Attorney General determines that the specific ammunition at issue is ‘primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes.’” So, according to the DOJ, they simply get to decide on this condition.
The “sporting purposes” caveat is an important exemption, as every bullet designed to ethically kill a deer or other big-game animal (whether from a pistol, rifle or shotgun) will also shoot through a bulletproof vest. If all bullets that could potentially shoot through a cop’s bulletproof vest were banned, then hunting—at least ethical hunting with firearms—would cease. Also, shooting competitions and more would effectively be terminated." -- http://www.forbes.com/sites/frankminiter/2015/02/24/why-is-the-atf-moving-to-ban-common-rifle-ammo/

Doesn't matter if it's m855 or not as either ammo will punch through. You still haven't answered my questions.
So now we are banning m855 and all hunting ammo. What ammo are we going to allow?

Who cares what police want? Why should that even be a significant factor? Police are an extreme minority of the population.

Well - we were talking about the definition of "armor piercing".
I would think that most people would consider the legal definition to be the accepted one.
The legal definition seems to be that any bullet that can penetrate the kevlar of a "bullet proof" vest (a vest without an armor plate insert) is "armor piercing". This would make all bullets used in the "ethical" killing of animals armor piercing bullets.
According to the Forbes article, the law says that bullets used primarily for "sport" (hunting and shooting competition) are exempt, but they are still considered to be "armor piercing" if they can penetrate a kevlar vest.
Therefore, the mother of the girl who was murdered at the Aurora theater was legally correct in calling the M855 an "armor piercing" bullet.
