Original Note:
M995 AP, the 5.56x4mm round with the best armor penetration, can pierce up to 1.2 cm of RHA steel at 100m. https://www.nammo.com/product/our-products/ammunition/small-caliber-ammunition/5-56mm-series/5-56-mm-x-45-armor-piercing-3/ Level IV body armor is built to stop a more powerful AP round from a bigger gun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_body_armor_performance_standards#NIJ_armor_standard_(United_States) No tank ever produced would be vulnerable to the AR due to armor thickness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_Sherman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M60_tank
