VH>When I was in the Army, I was tasked to evaluate adopting "teflon
VH>coated" ammo to penetrate enemy soft armor.  I got two reports -- one
VH>from the Justice Department, and the other from the Treasury Department
VH>-- on teflon coated ammo.  They concluded teflon ammo does NOT enhance
VH>the ability to penetrate a vest.
        Vern, the only bullet I am personally aware of that was teflon
        coated used the teflon ONLY to protect the bullet from damage
        during handling. The bullet it'self did all the work; the
        teflon did nothing for penetration. Is this the one of which you
        are speaking? Ernie P.
