It all depends on the type of bullet and type of armour.

A 5.56 armour piecing round will penetrate light armour - like that found on Russian APC's but will just "ping" off of a tank.

A normal soft point or hollow point will just deform on all armour.

How did the tank change over time?

The tank evolved significantly from its inception during World War I, initially serving as a slow, heavily armored vehicle designed to cross trenches and provide infantry support. Over the decades, advancements in armor technology, firepower, and mobility transformed tanks into faster, more versatile machines capable of engaging in diverse combat scenarios. The introduction of features like composite armor, guided missiles, and advanced electronics further enhanced their effectiveness on the battlefield. Today, modern tanks integrate cutting-edge technology for improved situational awareness, targeting, and survivability, reflecting the changing nature of warfare.

What is the thing bullets can't go through?

Many materials are bullet RESISTANT. Kevlar and other synthetic fibers are used to make soft body armor. However, nothing is truly bullet PROOF. The M1A1 Abrams tank fires a very big, very fast, very hard bullet that will go through 2 enemy tanks at once. This type of "bullet" is an armor piercing composite rigid shell. There are too many variables to consider, so more specifications are required. The apcr shell may or may not pierce through multiple tanks because enemy tank armor and armor slope is also involved. Scientists have devised a lightweight and extremely bullet resistant clear material that may replace glass but is also extremely expensive. This material can resist a standard .50 cal sniper rifle shot.

What does bullet penetration mean?

Bullet penetration refers to the depth and effectiveness with which a bullet can pierce through materials, such as skin, tissue, or armor. It is influenced by various factors, including the bullet's design, caliber, velocity, and the material being penetrated. In firearms and ballistics studies, understanding penetration is crucial for evaluating the stopping power and lethality of different ammunition types. Higher penetration can lead to greater damage to vital organs or incapacitation in self-defense situations.

Can cupronickel bullets pierce armor?

Not very well if they have a lead core. Cupronickel is the jacket material and is not thick enough to hold up itself to much metal penetration. If the bullet has a steel core then the core would allow it to penetrate most steel plate depending on velocity of the bullet and thickness of the steel armor it was shot at. Even though the cupronickel bullet is somewhat shinny they are usually composed of approximately 75% copper. Currently there are no cupronickel bullets built to penetrate armor. Cupronickel bullets are old technology and were developed mostly by the Russians in about 1908.
