Why no Brenneke?
Don't see any 5.7x28 on the site... Anyway to see actual shipping costs from your warehouse in alberta to ontario, cause that will be the major factor on rather or not its worth it. Also will you ship using UPS or only Canpar?

Armour Piercing Ammunition

Armour Piercing Ammunition
is a confusing subject.
Even within the firearms community, not everyone understands what armour piercing ammunition is or how it works. Armour piercing ammunition is NOT any ammunition that can penetrate armour. We also need to define exactly what is armour with respect to the term armour piercing.
Armour piercing bullets are specifically designed to penetrate steel and other metal armour. Armour piercing bullets behave exactly like any other full-metal jacketed bullet until they impact hard steel armour. In fact standard Canadian Military rifle (C7) ammunition, with its SS109 bullet incorporates an armour piercing capability.
So what is Armour Piercing Ammunition?
Armour piercing bullets are a specific design which incorporates a hard steel or tungsten carbide penetrator inside the bullet's core. Only ammunition with this hard penetrator design is considered to be armour piercing. When the bullet impacts armour, it begins to flatten. As the nose flattens, the hard penetrator continues forward into the armoured surface while being supported by the bullet as it continues to flatten.
Armour Piercing bullets do not explode, fragment or do any of the things you might see in a Hollywood movie. They are a simple kinetic energy penetrator. AP bullets are mainly found in military ammunition.
Why would a firearm owner use Armour Piercing ammunition?
Stocks of surplus military ammunition are sold in the retail market every year because it is inexpensive. Military style shooting competition is popular in the firearm community.
It is important to note that armour piercing ammunition is not legal for hunting in Canada because it does not expand as required by game regulations.
Is Armour Piercing ammunition prohibited under the criminal code?
No, it is not. The term "prohibited ammunition" is defined ONLY in Order is Council SOR/98-462. It defines "prohibited ammunition" as, "Any cartridge that is capable of being discharged from a commonly-available semi- automatic handgun or revolver and that is manufactured or assembled with a projectile that is designed, manufactured or altered so as to be capable of penetrating body armour, including KTW, THV and 5.7X28 mm P-90 cartridges."
AP rifle ammunition is not "prohibited ammunition." Certain other ammunition fits the definition, but we are dealing here only with the part of the OIC that deals with AP ammunition.
The definition above is so vague and inadequate that it would probably be thrown out if it ever got to court. For example; How THICK is that "body armour"? Armour made of WHAT?
