[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Or would you prefer an excerpt from an interview with the INVENTOR of the bullets? The following text is from the NRAction newsletter, Volume 4, Issue 5 (May 1990); it is part of an interview with one one of the inventors of the KTW "Cop-Killer" Teflon-coated bullet, and is a subset of a larger article. KOPSCH: "[Police] LieutenantTurcus, Don Ward and I thought maybe we could design a bullet which would get through the car door, and get through the windshield and get the crook out of the car ..." KOPSCH: "Critics kept complaining about teflon's ability to penetrate body armor. That was nonsense typical of do-gooders. In fact, teflon cut down on the round's ability to cut through the nylon or kevlar of body armor." KOPSCH: "Moreover, no armored police officer has been killed by the round, and interestingly enough the man who brought this to national attention ws the Honorable Rep. Mario Biaggi, who was in the U.S. House of Representatives at the time. When he called attention to the fact that the police were wearing bullet-resistant garments, the criminals started to shoot for the head. So Biaggi may have gotten quite a few policeman killed ... "We never sold [KTW] to the public. Sales were always limited to the police and the military. It had been available to the police and military for roughly five years before Biaggi started this ... it was a hoax on [Biaggi's] part that got him national publicity." How's that for laughs?
