Just about any rifle round will go thru soft body armor.

How many police were killed with armor piercing bullets last year I wonder? I would guess zero. They’re prepping their battlefield. They know what’s coming eventually and they’re stacking the deck in their favor ahead of it.

Correct. No body armor less than Class III (with a hard trauma plate) is even rated against rifle fire. Most police wear Class IIIA, which is effective against pistol fire only. Even rifles chambered in pistol calibers can defeat Class IIIA. The only soft armor rated against rifle fire is Class IV which is supposedly effective against 7.62x51 NATO and .30-06. But Class IV is very expensive and uncommon outside of SWAT units.

I was thinking along the same lines. Our sorry elected "leaders" are really jumpy about the unwashed having guns/ammo.

Really not much for them to worry about unless somebody comes up with a Dumb-azz penetrating round.

Exactly. They are talking about an end to hunting with anything but a shotgun or .22 rimfire.
