    I was shooting thicker steel than that yesterday with cheapo .223, went through it like butter. The bullets are hilariously small, but they’re hauling ass at 3,400FPS.

      People don’t realize just how penetrative .223 is. And the stuff you are firing is civilian grade stuff. Imagine some VIP was driving a cyber truck thinking he is safe and some guys with actual military ammunition fired at him. His car might as well be made of paper mache.
