Default Re: Semi-OT: A question on Power Ratios in Sci-fi

I remember reading that it fires "air bursting bullets" out of it's primary fire not it's 20mm grenade launcher. Possible that the author meant that it was 20mm AIRBURST grenades not "bullets" but I don't know.

And no I mean minni explosive warhead in a bullet sized package that some folks in the army are already working on, right up there with the "smart bullets" though I haven't found any info on either project in a while since some of what I read was a little overly mathfilled for my tastes hehe (I really don't want to know the physics of an exploding smart bullet lol)


i thought NATO was 7.62mm as that is what the M-16 fires?

Damn they just keep making their bullets more pansy as they go lol
