Dune Buggy Too OP

Well isn’t that a 50 Cal.?

I guess so, haha. I just didn’t know they could take Scout Helos down that fast.

Same here dude!

Nominating you for best info giver. That’s awesome, thanks!

“Dune Buggy Too OP”???

I liked it when LMG fire could damage choppers in BF3 and BFBC2. You really have no defence against a heli unless you’re an engineer in BF4.

If it flies low enough, C4 that bitch and watch the fireworks!

Edit: I know this is unlikely, but possible :slight_smile:

It’s a joke, haha.

Ahh, gotcha!

Technically the machine gun (looks like a KORD to me) was firing the Russian 12.7x108mm round which is slightly bigger than the US .50 cal (12.7x99mm).
More info on the cartridge here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/12.7x108mm

12.7x108mm:


The 12.7×108 mm cartridge is a heavy machine gun and anti-materiel rifle [cartridge](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartridge_(firearms\)) used by the former Soviet Union, the former Warsaw Pact, modern Russia, and other countries.

It is used in the same roles as the NATO .50 BMG (12.7×99mm NATO) cartridge. The two differ in bullet shape and weight, and the casing of the 12.7×108mm is slightly longer and thicker, allowing it to hold slightly more of a different type of powder. The 12.7×108mm can be used to engage a wide variety of targets on the battlefield, and will destroy unarmored vehicles, penetrate lightly armored vehicles and damage external ancillary equipment (i.e.: searchlights, radar, transmitters, vision blocks, engine compartment covers) on heavily armored vehicles such as tanks. Armor piercing .50 cal ammunition will penetrate around 25 mm of armor. Normal full metal jacket .50 cal ammunition will only dimple tank armor, causing no damage.

In the Finnish Defence Forces, the [NSV](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSV_(machine_gun\)) chambered in 12.7×108 is used primarily in an anti-aircraft role by all branches.

I think all 50 cals should be beefed up. I’m tired of shooting a person 5x with a 50…
