SS-190 on Wikipedia

So much for the vaunted "armor piercing" of this scary new gun. As noted below, it's the ammunition, not the firearm, but it's not all the available ammo, but a single variant that has made the list. But the real kicker is:

All game hunting cartridges, and even several pistol cartridges, are capable of such penetration.

Followed by:
The ammunition was not restricted for civilian sales, since it is not legally recognized as armor piercing by the ATF.

I'm so glad that the responsible agencies like the Boston Police Department aren't helping to propogate completely incorrect information... [/sarcasm off]
