What is teflon bullets?

Teflon bullets, also known as "cop killer bullets," are bullets that have a coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known by the brand name Teflon. This coating is intended to reduce friction and improve the bullet's performance.

Contrary to popular belief, the use of Teflon coating on bullets does not make them more deadly or able to penetrate body armor more effectively. In fact, Teflon coating is primarily used to protect the barrel of the gun from wear and tear caused by the bullet as it travels down the barrel.

While Teflon bullets have been demonized in the media and in popular culture, they are not actually any more dangerous or lethal than regular bullets. In the United States, the sale and use of armor-piercing ammunition, which includes Teflon-coated bullets, is heavily regulated by federal law.

In recent years, advances in bullet technology have rendered Teflon coating less significant, as more effective materials and designs have been developed for armor-piercing and high-velocity bullets. As a result, Teflon-coated bullets are relatively uncommon in modern weaponry.
