It also means the 7.62x51mm has greater power and range. Oh yea, the Dragunov and PK fires the 7.62x54R (R for rimless), which is rather powerful round.

The only other rifle that fire the 7.62x51 in the game is the M40.

the point is that realisticly the blackhawk shouldnt shoot explosing munitions as they used to in 1.0. people should stop asking for that!

Re: uh-60 armament

The ammo does not "explode". What they load is a 1:4 tracer round. For every 1 tracer they ahve 4 regular rounds. The difference is that in RL the M134 fires so fast that it literally "shreds" the target as well as the ground walls (whatever). Those fragments can do as mu8ch damage as the ammo itself. All they did was basically remove/drastically reduce the splash damage effect as well as the overall damage.

Actually the R stands for Rimmed, as the 7.62x54 mm is definately a rimmed rounds.

And you are wrong.

The L96A1 also uses 7.62x51mm, as does the G3, the M1A2's CoAx gun and the SCAR-H in Spec Ops also uses it.

And the M40 is actually the M24 in the game. Why the Marines use an Army sniper rifle I'll never know.

its not explosive - its the splash of fragmenting bullets, shrapnel that is as lethal as the original bullet
