M2 Black tip may be ancient , it's still a pretty effective AP round.
It's 30-06, so heavier then any 7.62x51 AP round.
I'm trying to be more skeptical to foster conversation. But APM2's are WW2 vintage. Encountering them in the field is going to be unlikely. They used that round for testing because it is the "round of record," so to speak. It's what they had when they started seriously testing armor and it has become the baseline for further testing.

I'm just saying I'd like to see more robust testing and the resulting outcomes. Miracle armors are almost never that (think: Dragonskin).
