I’m surprised that politicians haven’t been more active in trying to ban 5.7x28 based on the scary sounding “cop killer” reputation. The cartridge has only been around for about 30 years, how many cops have been killed by it?

This shows what gun smuggling will look like if the Demoncrats eventually are able to disarm law abiding citizens. “When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns”.

The 5.7 armor piercing ammo is hard to get, but the big advantage is lower recoil and high capacity. Calling something a “cop killer” is just hype by scare-mongerers.

If that’s all the arsenal they had they’re just wannabes.

Hey smuggler dudes, I’m pretty sure the US Border Patrol is going to check the vehicle’s spare tire It’s not the Border Patrol’s first time doing this, it may have been the smugglers’s first and last time doing this.

If I’m not mistaken, most rifle rounds larger than .22 can pierce body armor, and I’m not even standing still for a .22.

It isn't just hype when the pistol has high-capacity magazines, a bayonet lug, a silencer and can fire in automatic machine-gun mode!

There are heavy restrictions on the particular “cop killer” ammo. Not all 5.7 bullets are the same.

"Cop killers"...OOOooooOooOooooo!! Scary terrifying!!!

Anything is a "cop killer". Some folks after spicy Taco Tuesday could be considered "cop killers" in a stuck elevator...

Ted Kennedy *spit* tried to get a lot of rifle ammo banned as “armor piercing,” as I recall.

All that (and more) could be stuffed into one spare tire?
Must have been a truck sized tire.

I understand that a sharp knife will go right through kevlar. That’s why they have metal plates in most body armor that will at least slow down or maybe deflect an attempt to stab the person.
