Very cool. Is this going to be available for purchase by civilians right away? If not, how long until knock-offs are around? Will it be considered "armor piercing" and thus be blocked from us?

" Testers showed during a May 4 demonstration here that the round can punch through quarter-inch steel armor out to 300 yards with ease."
