This is driving me crazy.....

I cant' remember which movie deals with Cop Killing Bullets...

The scene is where the cop goes up to the shooting range and loads in one COP killing bullet into the chamber of the gun. Instead of a regular shooting target, he loads a bullet proof vest there. HE then shoots the target (bullet proof vest) at the range and it pierces the vest. He then brings the vest to the post and takes out the armor plating to reveal the hole. Next, he proceeds to tell the crowd of cops around him to watch out or something...

ARGH! Which movie is it?? Driving me crazy... S.w.a.t.?

AP bullets exist. "Cop killer bullets" are a creation of the media (and groups like HCI)

there are actually bullets that only hit kids and puppies now ;):D
 

Yes, there are bullets that can pierce body armor (specifically Kevlar). They have teflon-coated exteriors. link

AP bullets (armor penetrating) do not have teflon, that is a misconception furthered by media. AP projectiles have penetrators of a dense metal, tungsten being the most common that put them apart from other types of ammunition.

the teflon myth started sometime around when Federal cartridge came out with nyclad, essentially a normal round with nylon coating. this is supposed to increase lubricity to facilitate smooth feeding, but it got miscarried into armor penetrating.

also, 7.62 x 25 also were called "ap" or "cop-killer bullets", they have better chance of penetrating armor due to the high velocity they have as compared to .45 or .38 or 9mm that's more common.

According to the link above, they actually did start off with Teflon.

*Edit - the Teflon was to protect the bore though, not for penetration.

Always good to know what bullets penetrate body armor, could come in handy one day.

Dont think so. Hollowpoints are made to do more "blunt force damage". I think the bullets flatten out more than normal when they hit something, making them not go through things as much and doing more damage. I think a lot of PDs use these now. I think they would actually be worse going through vests as they spread the force out more. Not sure about the other type you mentioned.

Hollowpoints, you mean. And no, a hollowpoint is designed to inflict greater soft-tissue damage as it fragments upon impact. They are sometimes called by the name of a popular manufacturer - "Black Talon".

Edit - Holy hell. A lot of people asked about HPs. :Q

No. Hollow points are designed to do maximum damage to the inside of a person. After impact they split apart into many pieces. But they won't penetrate body armor.
