Maybe Six or F.U. can clear it up? Aside from military and LE, I'm not sure why armor-piercing bullets can/would be purchased for recreational use.
I think the 'incendiary nose' on some of the bullets is one of the reasons police believe that Paddock was trying to blow up the airplane fuel containers he shot at (it didn't work).
I'm not sure, but don't think those bullets are the same as armor-piercing bullets. It could be that Paddock was planning to shoot at people through cars, or that he thought armor-piercing bullets could penetrate the fuel containers?
