[Edit] I get it doing 2d+6 (2) pi, assuming the increased pressure gives it a tiny bump in damage. Last edited by lexington; 06-08-2011 at 04:23 PM. |

"consistent effects against soft targets and CQB performance" should be read as "fragments more often, through a greater velocity range than the old 62gr" since according to the link: Quote:

Presumably, the 855A1 is fragile enough for just the tip to be deflected, tearing the bullet apart, and allowing the slug to continue along the initial sight line. *shrug* |

That's how I interpreted the picture, though it might just deflect by a different amount. |

And, even that certain type of bullet have OT, this not means that automatically the round will be more accurate. But, could a bullet be BB and Match? Quote:

You automatically increase the capability of penetration by being AP, and under the rules, descriptions, in p. 30 ( tactical shooting) there is no difference between both types how they deal with light cover, like windshields. |

BB is allowed for "solid or HP rifle rounds", being Match Grade doesn't make them cease to be solid of HP if they started that way.

Re: 5.56mm MK318 mod 0
Thanks. I suspected as much, but I really don't know enough about ammunition and ballistics to be making such assessments very authoritatively myself.
I've been wrong about weirder stuff before, even if the metal in a bullet reacting rapidly to heat and pressure from the human body sounded a little out there. |
