Wouldn't DP use AP ammo in the suits?  They have the resources to do it, and it
means they can hurt a lot of deltas that would otherwise be hard to injure.  I
could even see the suits loaded with a mix of Armor Peircing and Hollow point,
so when you fire a burst half will go through armor and half will rip up
unarmored opponents.


On to a real world (yet related) topic: has anyone else heard anything aout the
New york Police 5.56mm AP ammo in their weapons? (I've no confirmation of this,
and can't even remember wher eI heard it from) Apperently it takes about 6
rounds to kill an un-armored foe, making it more likely to take people alive
(the bullets just pass through) while people wearing body armor cant rely on it
to keep them up.    I personally see the problem of rounds that missing passing
through brick walls and hitting innocents.  Of courxe, in BNW this wouldn't be a
problem... I cant see delta prime letting a little thing like civilian
casualties get in the way of taking out unregistered deltas.
