[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 425300, member: 12"] Not even remotely close. the 50 will only penetrate the aluminum or similar light skin vehicles even with the Rufos round. New armor will stop all small arms fire and that certainly includes the 50 with all ammo. They were not and are not for armoured vehicles only light skinned vehicles. Plus the fat lady has already sung on this thread. It will be a 338 Lapua based on the tests so far for both Army, USMC and SOCOM. Nothing else comes close for LR accuracy, barrel life and ammo availability. They will still keep the 308, 300 Win Mag and now the 338 for standard forces. SOF will use all of the above and anything else. BH [/QUOTE]
