I bought one specifically to penetrate body armour, which it did not, at least the blue tips I shot into an old vest. It was fun to shoot plinkin' at cans and such but .22 ammo is cheaper. It wouldn't be my first choice for duty
Hell, if I was using this gun for duty, and the department approved this gun, I would just send an official request and do all the red tape paperwork to get the penetration rounds, or just buy them via elite ammo
