A steel-core, steel jacketed 200 grain bullet running 1000 fps or a little better would have sealed the deal. But it never got to see the light of day, and I've never seen where they ever tried such a thing.

Actually they did. The government made ammo for the Thompson that although marked 45, had slightly smaller dimensions than ACP (probably to reduce pressure issues if it was fired in a standard 1911), but ballistics more in line with the Roland (sp) 1200+fps.
Think that I remember the reference in one of the COW books.
