Its not that easy though. Bacteria, viruses, and your DNA will accumulate mutations. It can happen on a cell by cell level. Thats some of the cause for some cancers.
Actually.338 lapua magnum,.300 min mag,.408 cheytac, and.416 barret (and many more) have higher velocities and will travel further than even the best.50 rounds.
Well, unfortunattly neither of those numbers is really that correct as the actual point of impact is smaller and the final shape can be sizably larger if the round is made to deform.
Modern.45 JHP rounds can end up being larger than an inch in diameter shortly after impact.
Yeah, that/round cost increase for that much more copper is a LOT when you're buying millions of rounds. Plus when being shot at I dont really care how environmentally friendly my bullets are.
It's not really that complicated as long as you're comparing apples to apples. If you look at 7.62x39 and 5.56x45 both steel core, then the 7.62 will out penetrate the 5.56 round every time. If you are looking at non steel core rounds, the 7.62 round will still out penetrate the 5.56 round. However if you start comparing non steel core 7.62 with say M855 steel core rounds then yes, the M855 will out penetrate a 7.62 FMJ lead core round.
There is lots of both types of ammo out there
Im curious as to what US DoD information youre getting that you dont think the rest of us already have. =\
Well i think distance is going to be key for survivability with those rounds. Im not sure but im guessing with a Level IV+ plate at 1000+ yards, with an angled impact it would stop it, probably not a square shot though. (Also those rounds are likely to be encountered at the 1000+ yard distance, god help you if youre closer then that)
Yes, those rounds would be good against soft armor. But a Level IV ceramic plate could stop any of those rounds (with the exception of the.50 round)
My plates are rated to stop anything up to and including a 30.06 steel core (most people call it Armor Piercing, but that isnt technically correct) multiple times.
Hello, There are some good information and bad information in your post.
1. SOFT body armor will not stop rifle rounds. Kevlar is virtually worthless (alone) against rifle rounds. Soft armor (assuming Level IIIA here) will stop most rounds up to and including.44 Magnum (Excluding a few rounds like 5.7mm and 7.62x25) rounds that are FMJ or JHP and of normal velocities. They will NOT stop anything steel cored.
2. SWAT and the military both employ Hard armor as well as soft armor. These are typically either steel plates or ceramic plates. They will either be rated for single impact or multiple impact and whether they are assisted panels or not (If they need to be assisted it means you HAVE to have a soft vest on under the plate or it will NOT stop a rifle round). These plates tend to ONLY cover a small portion of your body though, usually just your vitals as the plates are typically only 10x8 inches in size. (and youll typically have one in front and back)
3. A 7.62x39 round (The round used in the AK47) is actually MUCH harder to stop then your typical 5.56x45 (assuming it is an XM193 round [not steel cored]) round. It is a heavier round that does NOT fragment, however the wounding characteristics are not that great. The majority of the US military uses a XM193 round that fragments on impact making it easier to stop. The Russian 5.45 round is kind of weird and not a very effective round as its wounding method is to yaw inside its target, which means the temporary and permanent crush cavities are not spectacular, though it is decent at penetrating armor.
4. Grenades and Artillery actually try to kill with the concussive force (thats why the range is stated as being shorter) and fragmentation is the secondary wounding method. (If its going to throw chunks of deadly metal everywhere then you might as well capitalize on it.)
So in other words the government is providing phones to government workers that probably need them and made a PS3 supercomputer Not too mention that 136 million over 10 years is in the margin of error for larger projects.
TFA is retarded.
Except that I can physically secure paper. And stealing it requires a physical confrontation (Something criminals want to avoid at all costs). Also, you cant really automate mugging people on the street.You CAN automate stealing bitcoins.
While if I have bit coin I can be sitting on my computer, just browsing the internet and poof, all my bitcoins are gone, and i might not even know till I try and use them next.
I would worry about ANY attempt at a form of open currency that was released with such a gaping hole as "If someone grabs this single file off my computer then they have all my money..."
It doesn't matter if it's open or not.

Wait, you think all of the troops get air conditioning? Its actually very few and far between.
They didnt call it the wobbly goblin for nothing. That thing was a brick with jet engines attached.
Android is used on the whole spectrum of cheap to very nice phones. All this says is that Android runs on good and crappy phones alike.

Well, actually all rounds drop at the speed of gravitys acceleration. And .50s are really fun to shoot.
Good luck in trying to change terminology in the military.

Depends on the penetrator. if its just FMJ with a lead core, the armor should stand up since it will take a .30.06 steel core. same with .300 WM.

Actually they do. Also Civilians have them as well.
The military also has a program of donating older plates to small town ERTs
Now we just have to figure out which one of us is which!
Thank you for the correction. Its been a while since I dealt with the mil supply chain and Im still using M193 till this day.
Have the actually green lighted M855A1 round? Last I saw it was still at the proving grounds.

They do lots of back yard ballistics testing. There is some really interesting stuff there.
Well, actually the wounding potential of a grenade at 50 yards is very small. Not impossible, but not likely.
Ack, sorry for the formatting.

Imagine that. Storing values that represent "Money" in a plaintext file was a bad idea. Who would've thunk... =\
