Yes, the .50 sniper rifles can fire SLAP. Unfortunately doing so with the muzzle brake still attached to the weapon will usually result in the muzzle brake being ripped apart, which is why firing SLAP from the M107 sniper rifle is specifically prohibited :-/ (If you remove the muzzle brake the rifle will survive firing SLAP, but OTOH your shoulder might not like it that much...) >Were they testing the API or AP rounds? Doubtful. >Ap is going to have a lower sectional density and WILL yaw when it strikes >the water BUT it's not going to break up very well. You might be surprised at how badly AP penetrators can behave in water. Being homogenous gives surprisingly little protection against breaking up :-( Later, Oerjan [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Life is like a sewer.
