If you want to continue spreading the MSM-generated myth that Teflon coatings on bullets increase their ability to penetrate body armor, you can take it up with the guy who invented the Teflon-coated bullet:

Kopsch: "Adding a teflon coating to the round added 20% penetration power on metal and glass. Critics kept complaining about teflon's ability to penetrate body armor. That was nonsense typical of do-gooders. In fact, teflon cut down on the round's ability to cut through the nylon or kevlar of body armor."

I saw a demonstration of a new technology bullet that was a compost material, I can't remember the name of the technology or I would look it up for you. It could penetrate a 1/2” steel or when they shot a pot roast it almost exploded the meat. The compost was Teflon, Nylon and unnamed heavy metals. One of the winners of the 50 BMG 1000 yard matches did win with solid steel bullets and my flak jacket in Viet Nam was fiberglass.
