Revoke BATFE ban on 7N6 Ammunition

Created by K.S. on February 15, 2015

Revoke BATFE ban on 7N6 Ammunition
The ban on 7N6 does not meet BATFE's definition of AP (armor piercing) ammunition. First, a little background.

The following is that definition:

“(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,

(ii) 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.”

This law only applies to handgun ammunition., not rifle cartridges and therefore cannot be banned by the same means.
