“Under no pretext"

Rules (Under review):

1. NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
1. Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
1. Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
1. Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
1. Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

For punching through armor

The idea is that you can give a five seven pistol or a P90 to non-frontline troops, and it doesn't weigh them down as they're trying to do their jobs, but when heavily armed and armored enemy commandos sneak in and start trying to blow shit up, these rounds can defeat body armor

I've heard civilian market ones can't penetrate armor. Don't quote me on that.

Yeah I think that's right, they only sell the AP ammunition to law enforcement and military. I imagine there could be third parties though
