    .45 acp bullet ID what am I

    Saw this on another board. It was pulled from a .45acp case. Really odd design

    It sort of resembles the old Arcane bronze bullet.(1970s-80s)

    I'm going with Arcane too.
    Back in the 80s, I held one in my hand that was in .357Mag. (I had to give it back though)
    Even in 9mm, they'd blow through the sides and windows of armored limos. and vests of the day.
    They look like they're made of brass, but I think it's really bronze.

    The guy that developed them for serious armor piercing in hand gun calibers had a few out there before the govt.
    made them illegal and threatened to come after him with a black helicopter if he didn't quit making them.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    Definitely looks like an Arcane bullet.
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!
