* - SJ ESC isn't a common bullet type name. I used this acronym to designate special armor-piercing Semi-Jacketed Exposed Steel Core bullets, designed to deal with modern army-style bulletproof jackets, made of kevlar and titanium or composite armor plates. Those bullets has aluminium jacket with hardened steel core, exposed and pointed at the nose of the bullet.
THV - Tres Haute Vitesse
