Re: .50 calibre rounds

Richard:

THX. The black tip means armor piercing. Having witnessed firing these .50 caliper rounds, I can say they are very effective: through concrete block walls, mud hut walls, and other "stuff". I have fired M-1 Garand 30.06 armor piercing and they are very effective rounds!--shattering a 6 inch granite stone!

Follow up from an friend who commanded a tank platoon with those .50 guns. He says, blue is incendiary, red/maroon/orange is tracer. Aluminum tip or red ring is AP incendiary.
