I wonder how many bodies without armor = 1/2 inch steel. Has anybody ever shot any 3/4 ?

Several years back while at Camp Perry I picked up a few hundred rounds of each type. Playing around at the shop a little later with the AP shooting it through a O3A3 it would go through 3/4 steel plates off the hydraulic press very easy. After a few rounds of that I (C) clamped two plates together and shot that at about 25 yards and it would almost go through the 1 1/2". A couple rounds of that and one of the bolts came back at me and hit the side of the building behind me. That was the end of my testing for a long time now. I've very surprised the general public can purchase that bad azz chit.

I had a penetrator whiz by my head, that came back off of a 5 lb. steel block, loose, that got knocked off the stump onto the ground. That seemed to defy some physics laws. I shoot these minimum 50 yds. now.
