Also, you're forgetting that no matter how many people we kill, we are a limited occupational force in a spawning pit for insurgents. We could kill 10 or 15 to each US soldier and it wouldn't make much difference. You're measuring victory in WWI-era terms, not the terms of modern warfare.

You're measuring victory in WWI-era terms, not the terms of modern warfare.Actually, just checking now, it is 14 insurgents per US Soldier and that is a load of bullfeck. The truth is that the insurgency is so pathetic that they just get raped in every conflict, and Iraq doesn't exactly breed insurgents like rabbits.
We need to bring Next-Gen modern warfare, its obvious that nothings happening in Iraq or Afghanistan. People just keep dieing. The .50 cal barret it outstanding, but is it the best? Is it possible to go to a .75 cal? Or is it just a joke?
I attend grammar school, last grade, and ignorance is all around me. Well, good for them. Ignorance is bliss.
Recoilless rifles?Why would you need a friggin bigger calibre. Yes, killing is primary function for guns, but wounding is an even better objective. It takes 5x the resources and manpower to save and remove a wounded soldier. In ww2, american snipers with hollowpoint bullets were trained to shoot every 3rd german in a line up (when they did the traditional fanning out to search) because the 2 guys on either side of the shot german would have to pull him back, taking off 3 soldiers whereas if he was killed he would be left there and the other 2 would continue on. And as for bigger calibre, I think the .50 is pushing it for armor piercing cause as Dascoo said, you will be increasing the surface area and if you don't increase the power behind the gun (which would make it bigger and clunkier) it will merely dent armor or, as he said, hit it like a flying pancake. All the force would be distributed more evenly across the larger surface area and it loses effectiveness.
No more video games for you.
Oh ok, since video games made you do it, parents and the press will all blame it on video games and you get off Scott free.
They pay scientists big bucks to develop these things.Unfortunately, it seems that maybe too much time, effort, and attention is put into making something to take a life rather than something to save it.
are always very inaccurate.

The truth is that the insurgency is so pathetic that they just get raped in every conflict, and Iraq doesn't exactly breed insurgents like rabbits.I totally called that, without even researching the stats on how many are killed per U.S. soldier. Oh wait but no, statistics Quote from: a-4-year-old on February 02, 2008, 07:34:01 pmare always very inaccurate. =(But yeah, they get raped in every conflict! That's why "combat operations in Iraq have ended" right? That's why we're still there 4 years later, right? That's why a civil war started, right? Cause we rape them all the time?

That is all.Bulls*it. Newest Barrett bullet with extanded range (accurate at range of 2500 meters) is smaller than .50. It's 10.57mm as I good remember.
Uhhhh the .416?
