jtcm Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 The Mower Philip Larkin The mower stalled, twice; kneeling, I found A hedgehog jammed up against the blades, Killed. It had been in the long grass. I had seen it before, and even fed it, once. Now I had mauled its unobtrusive world Unmendably. Burial was no help: Next morning I got up and it did not. The first day after a death, the new absence Is always the same; we should be careful Of each other, we should be kind While there is still time. http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,6109,713613,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durbish Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Originally posted by aaronb: To put it in real-world perspective, the 7.62NATO round has about 2600ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, and it can penetrate the sides of modern APC's with armour-core or even just full metal jacket. The .50BMG has on the order of 14000ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle.kind of off topic re CM but I have heard that rounds fired from an m16 create a small static charge which can damage nearby electronics, anyone truth to this? If so, does this hold true for all high velocity rounds or is it something to do with the tumbling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Gotta say, that was one MEAN looking lawn-mower with a noise that was more terrifying than the sound of an approaching enemy Panther! Regards Jim R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 If you study the armor specs in CMBO, you will find that the cassis of the Pz IV is 20mm at the rear. All Pz IV derivates, including Jagd- and Flakpanzer and the StuG IV are vulnerable to the .50cal. The StuG III is not, it has no 20mm plates. Neither has the Jagdtiger.

wbs Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Geez! Here y'all are talking about taking out PZ mk IV's with a .50 Caliber, while I, on the other hand, have my guys die because a German HALFTRACK shrugged off a direct hit at 50 meters range from a BAZOOKA. The halftrack then killed my bazooka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
