. Wrong Not banned and legal. Only banned armor in Ct is .50 cal AP. M855a1 is Ct legal 53-202l(b) prohibits: *distributing *transporting or importing into Connecticut *keeping for sale *exposing for sale a variety of "armor piercing bullet" which is described in 53-202l(a)(1) which are designed to penetrate armor or bullet proof glass, are claimed by their manufacturer or distributor as able to penetrate armor or bullet proof glass, or are "generally recognized" as being able to penetrate armor or bullet proof glass. (The statute includes a non-exhaustive list of rounds that meet that requirement) OR "incendiary .50 cal bullet" as defined in 53-202l(a)(2) OR more broad list of projectiles defined in 53-202l(a)(2) which consists of (B) any bullet that can be fired from a pistol or revolver that (i) has projectiles or projectile cores constructed entirely, excluding the presence of traces of other substances, from tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper or depleted uranium, or (ii) is fully jacketed with a jacket weight of more than twenty-five per cent of the total weight of the projectile, is larger than .22 caliber and is designed and intended for use in a firearm, and (iii) does not have projectiles whose cores are composed of soft materials such as lead or lead alloys, zinc or zinc alloys, frangible projectiles designed primarily for sporting purposes, or any other projectiles or projectile cores that the Attorney General of the United States finds to be primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes or industrial purposes or that otherwise does not constitute "armor piercing ammunition" as defined in federal law. "Armor piercing bullet" does not include a shotgun shell. You'll notice that the wording is very similar to the wording used in the federal statutes and regulations that apply to armor piercing handgun ammunition, with a Connecticut twist. The term pistol or revolver is a term of art in Connecticut, which has a specific meaning (any firearm with a barrel under 12"). The federal statutes have been interpreted to apply only when a commercially available handgun is made/imported for the round. (Additionally I believe that I have read that ATF does not consider the availability of certain types of handguns as well when making armor piercing handgun ammunition determinations at the federal level) Since the requirement in Connecticut is only about the ability to be fired in a firearm with such a short barrel, this could cause more types of ammunition to be considered to be armor piercing. The good news is that Connecticut's statute does recognize the federal exceptions, incliding the AG sporting purpose/ industrial purpose list (which currently includes .30-06 black tip and SS109/M855 ammunition) There. I'm not broken today.

Not exactly. The state also bans ammo that meets the following; "any bullet that can be fired from a pistol or revolver that (i) has projectiles or projectile cores constructed entirely, excluding the presence of traces of other substances, from tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper or depleted uranium, or (ii) is fully jacketed with a jacket weight of more than twenty-five per cent of the total weight of the projectile, is larger than .22 caliber and is designed and intended for use in a firearm, and (iii) does not have projectiles whose cores are composed of soft materials such as lead or lead alloys, zinc or zinc alloys, frangible projectiles designed primarily for sporting purposes, or any other projectiles or projectile cores that the Attorney General of the United States finds to be primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes or industrial purposes or that otherwise does not constitute “armor piercing ammunition” as defined in federal law." |

Legal. If Cabela's sells it you can be sure it is legal here. Those idiots won't sell pre bans or even let .mil buy ARs.
You are asking about this now? Your ammo fort should have thousands of rounds of this stuff as part of it's foundation. We may have to ban you from the HTF. You are a disgrace.

Not banned and legal. Only banned armor in Ct is .50 cal AP.  Just pointing out that under CT's idiotic laws, more than just .50 cal AP could banned as armor piercing.

It was during the greentipban scare of 2015 I think. It was 9.97 for 30 rounds which at the time average prices were $0.60 or so. I think target sports has them around that now. I was able to clear out a few stores. |
