No. .338 vs .500
If you are referring to World War 2, then you probably mean the .308 bullet used in the British Enfield rifle, the typical infantryman's rifle used in World War 1 & 2. It was a rifle round that was 0.308 inch diameter. The "50 Caliber" was a 0.500 inch caliber bullet that was about 4 inches in length that was used in heavy machine guns that were used on tanks and aircraft.
Suggestion- You may also have been thinking about a .30-06 Springfield, which the M33 Ball .50 Cal ammuntion is based upon. The .50 Cal is actually on a super scaled up version of it. But no, a .338 is in NO way a .50 cal.
its the same thing. it doesnt matter where you put the word caliber. its still a .50 caliber
3.38 = 338/100 = 169/503.38 = 338/100 = 169/503.38 = 338/100 = 169/503.38 = 338/100 = 169/50
338% reduces to 3 19/50
No. An Intervention shoots a smaller caliber bullet. The Barret is the rifle that shoots 50 caliber bullets. The Intervention fires .408Caliber Rounds (Bolt action)
it all depends is it a gatling gun (about 2000 a min) or a 50 cal (about 300 min) or Metalstorm (about 2,000,000 a min)
@ 1USD a round. @.50 cents a round
Under most circumstances, no. The .50 cal BMG was designed to shoot through early armored VEHICLES. A flak jacket- properly called soft body armor, is intended to stop fragments from grenades, mortars, and artillery shells- not bullets. Especially not BIG, HEAVY bullets like the .50.
No. The .50 AE is 33mm in length. The .50 Browning Machine Gun rounds, as used in the Barrett, are 99mm in length. Very substantial difference.
Sierra Bullets's population is 50.
No. 10mm is close to .40 cal, smaller than .50 cal.
Yes, actually most bullets do. Bullets can range from a handgun at 253 M.P.H (average) to the fastest and biggest bullet i know, the .50 cal BMG at 1901 M.P.H or 2800 ft a second
They both fire the 50 BMG
