SDC has the story right. The sticky teflon tip helped penetration by keeping the bullet on the car windsheild/door long enough to penetrate.

The officers only sold the ammo in tiny quantities to the military and some police departments.

The myth, repeated in the movie Ronin, is that spraying teflon on a bullet gives it magical penetration abilities. This is nonsense.
