The police had no problem dragging them out of their houses and conducting illegal searches.

I have seen M193 .556 NATO 55gr fmj rounds punch right through 3/8 inch thick steel plate. Not AR500 plate but regular steel plate used in construction. I believe this round came into use around 1964. This was the type of ammo used in Vietnam.

The current Military round used to replace M193 is M855 .556 NATO 62gr SS109. This round has better penetration when compared to M193. I believe NATO adopted this round in 1977. M193 is used by "some" LE and "some" foreign military units.

The last place that I want to be when a firefight is raging is behind a layer of brick, vapor barrier, insulation, sheetrock and paint. Now sand filled walls or armored plate in the walls... you should be good to go.
