The naval-gunnery discussion moves to an analogy about several bullets striking protective armor. A participant identifies the P90, then withdraws the identification after another distinguishes soft body armor from harder plates. Alex Clarke returns to the claim that concentrated fire can overwhelm protection. The exchange also contains tentative and conflicting recollections about 5.7 mm, 9 mm, and other cartridge development. It provides a debate about the analogy, with no settled developmental history or demonstrated penetration result.
