Bronze jacketed lead no doubt. If they'd been AP the 
wall would've just disappeared. The bullets were 
hitting the blade slightly off center as can be seen by 
the spray of fragments to the left. The last bullet hit 
the blade pretty much dead on.

The blade didn't have a chance, just too much kinetic 
energy to absorb more than one or two direct hits.
