[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 2716823, member: 204"] The article you quoted "specifically listed Oklahoma". You are correct in that M855 does NOT meet the definition of AP under Oklahoma law. It also does not meet the definition of AP under federal law. That is why everyone is upset about this. Federal law defines AP ammo as: [I]• A projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or • A full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile.[/I] M855 only has a small steel tip that make up a very small percentage of the projectile weight. The majority of the weight is lead and therefore not an AP round.
