i am asking as someone that doesn't have knowledge, but are AR-15s able to penetrate body armor? i had assumed that they had some armor piercing ability?

Depends on the type of body armor we're talking about here. For example, I read about testing the body armor that the New York state police used and it failed to stop a round fired from an AR-15, however a competing body armor stopped it.
