    FNH "armor piercing" weapon!

    So we were watching a show called Drugs Inc on the Justice Channel, and it was about drugs in Puerto Rico. There was a lady commenting on a spread of pistols and rifles on a table, looked like evidence, and she pointed to a FNH pistol and said "This one, a FNH, is called the cop killer. It's an armor piercing weapon."

    All this time I thought armor piercing was a property of the ammo you shoot. What a silly goose I've been! I need to go get me one of them there FNH pistols, I'll bet they could stop a tank!

    Possibly referring to a 5.7 handgun? The 5.7 round was intentionally designed to penetrate body armor.

        That's the ideal pistol for hunting lions, tigers, and bears.

          Not really. Its like hitting with an ice pick. Id rather have 10mm with 200gr hard cast lead loaded hot. That will punch deep and hard.

                I have some of those in 458 SOCOM and 300 gr. I can't wait to try them out on some four legged targets that look like Rosie O'Donnell, but are smarter, better looking and yield bacon and sausage.

                  I don't see many cops wearing hard armor during daily activities.

                    I saw a demo with the 5.7 and it penetrated the soft armor while all the other handguns failed to do so...

                              5.7 can take down fighter jets!
