No. Ball ammo is a lead round nosed bullet with a copper jacket. It will just flatten when hitting armor.
There are hundreds of slightly different types of ammo. For rifles, the most common are ball, blank, tracer, armor piercing, incendiary, frangible and dummy.
Theres Ball, Tracer, Armor Piercing Incendiary
Blank, Ball, Tracer, Incendiary, Armor piercing are the common types. There are also special rounds such as training (plastic bullet) frangible (bullet breaks into dust on impact with hard surface) and Duplex (2 or more bullets stacked up in the cartridge) and gallery (short range round ball, target load)
Cannot give you one simple answer. It will depend on the type of steel, the angle of impact, the distance to the plate, and what type of cartridge the AK47 is firing. They DO make an armor piercing cartridge, and it goes through more armor than a regular ball cartridge.
The ball screws on securely.

For .50 BMG, ammo is about $4.50 to $5 per cartridge for ordinary ball ammo. Some specialty ammo is MUCH more expensive.
Hold the back of it and if the ball is on really tight twist hard.
hold the inside with your teeth and you spin the ball to the right
yes it is a divet from the ball resting
This usually refers to a tongue piercing object - small, silver ball shaped.
It shouldn't; if it gets that large without your stretching it, the piercing might be rejecting.
