AP designation for ammunition purposes though, has nothing to do with soft body armor.

Actually, that's not true. Several of the more vile members of the Warfare/Welfare state have tried to classify any round "AP" that could penetrate a IIIA vest.
Further, any actual AP ammo capable of being fired in a handgun is illegal; and the fact that the Thompson-Center Contender is chambered for both 7.62 Nato and 5.56 Nato is how those AP rounds are banned.
The projectiles were available as pulled pieces, but those went away a couple-three years ago; and the fedgov stopped selling any of them as surplus ammo.
