Has anyone seen or fired the so called "Armor Piercing/Frangible" ammo on the History channel's "Bullets" show?
I was wondering how this is even possible. The distributor (Le Mas Ltd.) claims that the bullet can "sense" the temprature of the target. It supposedly will penetrate a cold target without deformation, but when it senses heat equivalent to body heat it will completly disinegrate. They claim it will penetrate 1/4" steel, but won't penetrate four 5/8" sheets of drywall. That doesn't even make sense since bullets already become very hot due to friction w/ the air and the barrel of a firearm.
If this bullet works it would be a huge advance, but I just don't see how it's even possible.
I googled it but I can't find a whole lot of info on it. The distibutor's website only will give access to Military and LE, and you need a special access code.
Thanks,
