This all depends on your definition of armor and armor piercing.
Tank bullets are commonly referred to as tank ammunition or rounds. The primary types include armor-piercing rounds, high-explosive rounds, and canister rounds, each designed for specific combat scenarios. The most recognized type of armor-piercing round is the APFSDS (Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot) round, which is designed to penetrate armored targets effectively.
Nope.
Armor piercing rounds are made in varius calibers or mm, the most common are 308 7.62x54, 50 BMG, 416 Barrett, 408 chi tec....Armor piercing rounds as a whole or copper coated on the exterior and steel core rounds often used by Military or police snipers.

An armor piercing capped ballistic cap is a variety of armor-piercing shell introduced in the 1930s.
The effectiveness of ammunition against body armor largely depends on the type and level of the armor itself. High-velocity rounds, such as those fired from rifles (e.g., 5.56x45mm NATO, 7.62x51mm NATO), can penetrate certain types of soft and hard armor, especially when using armor-piercing (AP) variants. Additionally, specialized rounds like the .30-06 Springfield or .338 Lapua Magnum are known for their ability to penetrate higher-level ballistic protection. Ultimately, the specific design and materials of the body armor will determine which rounds are effective.
Spent uranium is used for armor piercing rounds. Enriched uranium is used in the production of plutonium that is used in the cores of nuclear weapons.
Yes, a 5.56mm round can potentially pierce certain types of body armor, particularly older or lower-level vests designed to stop handgun rounds. Armor rated at Level IIA, II, or IIIA may not be sufficient against high-velocity rounds like the 5.56, especially if they are armor-piercing types. However, higher-level body armor, such as Level III or IV, is specifically designed to withstand rifle rounds and would generally provide protection against the 5.56.
