Best Answer

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.

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.

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.
