a 50 cal sniper

Standard body armor without any extra insert plates is generally rated as Type IIIA or less. This type of armor cannot withstand any real rifle bullet. At best, it can stop submachineguns and high-powered pistol round.

Type III and IV armors usually have some sort of ballistic ceramic plate inserts. These inserts can stop a single (under ideal conditions 2-3) bullets per plate of up to 7.62mm Armor Piercing.

Can World War 2 period sniper rifles go through a armored car?

A "sniper rifle" is simply a rifle of above average accuracy- it has no special power or magic connected with it. It would depend of the type of ammunition used, the distance, angle to the target, and the armor of the armored car. The US 30-06 cartridge, the German 8mm Mauser, and the Russian 7.62x54 cartridge, when using an armor piercing bullet, may penetrate a modest amount of armor at close range.

Can a 5.56 pierce body armor?

Yes, a 5.56mm round can potentially pierce certain types of body armor, particularly older or lower-level vests designed to stop handgun rounds. Armor rated at Level IIA, II, or IIIA may not be sufficient against high-velocity rounds like the 5.56, especially if they are armor-piercing types. However, higher-level body armor, such as Level III or IV, is specifically designed to withstand rifle rounds and would generally provide protection against the 5.56.
