“Overpenetration? You’re a nut. Nobody cares about overpenetration from a rifle. So why should they care about overpenetration from a pistol?”

Those are nice.

In Desert Storm, the M829A1 “Silver Bullet” was known to penetrate a five foot thick sand berm, through the frontal armor of a T-72, through the engine block, and exit out the rear of the tank.

But that is a wee bit bigger than the 5.56mm M855 NATO ball round.
