Any 12.7mm "co-ax" is rather bogus.

The .50 was a spotter and used a contact-flash round, in bursts of 3 per firing. Ammo for it was limited, so although in theory you could annoy trucks and grunts etc. with the spotting HMG, it was not normally done.

The Jordainan (and any other you may find - e.g the same error occurs in Gulf States ones) Chieftains with a 12.7 co-ax should in reality have the normal rifle calibre co-ax.
