but the British army were using the SLR until the late 80s, which was a 7.62mm round, the rest of what you said is very true though 
also, the rounds that enter armoured vehicles are simply armour piercing made from depleted uranium (its no longer radioactive). its extremely dense, so when fired at high speeds, it carries alot more "punch" than a regular round so can therefore punch its way through armour, but doesnt have the same power to go through the other side so therefore it bounces around inside ripping the occupants to shreds

just imagine the .50 cal or the 20mm hitting you, if a 5.56 can rip limbs off imagine what they do

You couldnt be more wrong! They live in a society where its now accepted. Which is really bad. They live in fear for no reason, and poor people who want money get guns and rob/kill people.
Yeah America is great
All banning handguns in this country did, was stop people who used them for sport using them, and encourage crime. Now the gun crime rate has soared since as people still buy guns, making them illegal just means they buy them illegally.
People are so fucking stupid. If a nutter uses a gun to kill kids, banning guns means he will either buy an illegal one, or use another weapon. a nutter is a nutter.
Its like idiots who do like 60/70 through 30zones. The council think its a good idea to lower the speed limit to 20. Because those taking notice of the 30 sign, are going to act differently to a lower speed limit?
Some people need showing the sharp end of a .50 cal bullet
