...40,000 7.62mm armor-piercing rifle or machine-gun rounds...

Standard ball ammunition is OK, but those 7.62mm armor-piercing rifle or machine-gun rounds are REALLY scary. I hear they can penetrate the frontal armor of an M1 tank at two miles!

7.62mm AP would do little damage to M1 Abrams armor even at point blank range. However, body armor is another story.
