I believe the KTW bullets you mean were never released to public sale. It was mainly a media feeding frenzy. They had a different jacket and (I think) a tungsten or other bullet material.
However, 7.63mm Mauser and 7.62mm Tokarev FMJ bullets will also often penetrate vests, as Hong Kong cops learned the hard way.

Thank you Tex for the refresher for my fuzzy ol' fttttz memory. I thought the nyclad name's merchandise involved but could not remember the whole story. I still am not surprised that FCC would as soon leave the whole association buryed in the arcives. There are terms that the anti-press have coined that are just as well left to be never again repeated.
