Golden tiger is typical Commercial AK ammo from Russia much the same as Wolf. Its not armor piercing either by design nor by legal definition. There is a list of 7.62 X 39 that is designated AP by BATFE and NONE of that can be imported. Golden Tiger is just simple Lead core bullets. And is legally imported....
However, shot out of a Rifle, it will penetrate body armor. Like any rifle bullet will do.
However its is NOT designed to do so, nor classified as AP.
There are AK pistols that do shoot 7.62 X 39. Which is part of the reason that all Steel Core 7.62 is now Banned and classified as AP. Because pistols were commercially made and sold and BATF decided to declare all steel core ammo in that caliber AP. Never mind the facts... just that they did not like it and classified it AP. Which brought on the dearth of surplus 7.62 ammo sales. Now it is only commercial new stuff like Golden Tiger, Hot Shot and Wolf (all Russian).
Golden Tiger is not AP (which is a legal definition, not an actual performance spec). Its just a brand name for one of the Russian company's commercial ammo and is perfectly legal. Recently Golden Tiger has also been imported in 5.45 X 39 as well.
