Russian Commandos Carry Suppressed Rifles That Can Shoot Through Body Armor —
With more and more NATO troops wearing body armor, Russian special forces teams wanted a silent weapon that was also capable of penetrating armor — and could lay down enough fire for fast, violent raids targeting NATO command-and-control centers. The resulting Val, with its integral suppressor, spurred the development of a whole family of suppressed weapons, including the VSS. The Soviets also designed two new nine-by-39-millimeter armor-piercing rounds — the SP-6 for suppressed assault rifles and the more-accurate SP-5 for suppressed sniper rifles such as the VSS.

Your Say
This is insane. No one should be allowed such weapons. They should be outlawed and taken off the market.
And if it wasn't for the NRA and right-wing evangelical Christians bigots, racists and homophobes, the Russians would never have developed such a gun.

A mortar shell will penetrate your body armor post haste. Tank round? Same deal. Looks like it's back to small unit tactics.
