Chief: The Army has developed a bullet that penetrates 5.56 mm-resistant body armor

Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told senators Thursday that the Army has developed a round that can penetrate 5.56 mm-resistant body armor.
During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the Army’s budget request, Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, asked Milley how the Army was doing in developing a new rifle to replace the M4 and a more powerful round to replace the 5.56 mm bullet it fires.
“We think we have a solution,” Milley said. “We know we have developed a bullet that can penetrate these new plates.”
