You left out a lie. They also showed an AK defeating body armor. Any rifle will defeat the body armor they used! Rifles that weren't banned will defeat body armor as readily as any of the banned guns. Body armor is designed to protect against handguns; not rifles.

OMG, you're right.

Even the NATO body armor is touch-and-go on .308 Win/7.62 NATO. And it's got steel plates in it and weighs a good 12 pounds.

I know some standard pistols (e.g. .44 Mag) will defeat standard Class II body armor. Even Class III is not proof against some custom pistols and protects against very few rifles. (Do you know which one they used? Class I junk would be par for the course with CNN.)
