Ceramic ammunition and "Gyrojet" projectiles

Using ceramic materials is very easy to make ammunition, what is extremely dangerous.  Below this text is a film what shotgun makes to the bulletproof vest if it is loaded by glass projectiles. Those projectiles would penetrate to the bulletproof vest because ceramic materials would not be elastic, and because they would be stiff, they would penetrate to the target very much better than metal bullets. That's why glass or stone ammunition can be very dangerous for people, who are using bulletproof vest. But There have also been tested bullets what are made of granite or other stones.


Those ceramic bullets just formulate the shape of the bullet, by using turning lathe. In that film is used shotgun and ammunition, what is made of standard glass. But this type of ammunition could be more dangerous if the used material would be bulletproof glass and the weapon more effective like Barrett 50. BMG, what has one of the most powerful ammunition in the world. Also, those glass bullets can be covered by using Chromium or other metal, what allows it to penetrate more effectively. The rocket pistols like "Gyrojet" seemed ineffective because they needed special rounds.


The reason for creating "Gyrojet" was that special forces needed the silent weapon, what can be used in elimination operations, but that special ammunition made those weapons too expensive for production. And the silenced rifles replaced those pistols and rifles. But today is claims that there would be special hybrid-ammunition for rifles, what has rockets inside the cartridge. They can be shot by normal military rifles, but the ammunition would involve rocket, what flies from the shell. When we are thinking about this kind of ammunition, we might guess how dangerous they are. I don't know how effective those rocket bullets are, but ceramic bullets are the very risky thing if they are in the wrong hands.
