I've never felt like this before.

It doesn't go away.

This is a perfect demonstration of the magic of the west wing. The ability of one show to elicit tears, laughter, pride, hopefulness and a salute

@Supergamer9 AP ammo has been around for about a century. They weren't labeled "cop killers" by activist journalist and politicians until around 1982, because of the incorrect association with Teflon. Many states outlaw Teflon coated bullets, even lead and mild steel, and all of those same states except CA (to my knowledge) allow the selling and reloading of actual AP pistol ammo.

KTW was just improving an already well established and legal round to be easier on the gun firing it.

@mazerrackham001 You're right but that doesn't mean the dialogue in this scene is wrong. What made "KTW" bullets so deadly is the harder core they had, using, as you say, a tungsten alloy. This alloy *did* allow a bullet to penetrate a bullet-proof vest.

[mazerrackham001]

This was a fine scene, with fine acting, but "cop killer bullets" are bullshit. It's based on the ridiculous theory that by coating a tungsten carbide bullet with Teflon to reduce wear on the barrel, it becomes capable of penetrating more layers of body armor than it would without. This is retarded. Most LEOs know it. Many have spoken out against the crusade against these very useful bullets by people who happen to be the same dumb asses that think incendiary rounds are "heat-seeking bullets".

@pengo2008 By the way, nothing is 'propagandistic' because that word does not exist. Try again once you've mastered 8th grade English.

@Elisheval Well he's already bombed Libya to defend civilians, and the US already tried to authorize resolutions to allow them do the same for Syria. The difference with Syria is the people are not asking Obama to help, and I think he has listened.

[pengo2008]

@downunderdemocrat its easily both.

[downunderdemocrat]

@maven21 America bombing Syria, is this a sign of things to come?

[downunderdemocrat]

@pengo2008 So the West Wing is a vehicle for pro - Israeli propaganda? Oh I thought it was just a vehicle for liberal bias.
