50 BMG and 7.62x25 Tokarev?

[BluesBear]

The big one is a 12.7mm Degtyarev isn't it?

[boing]

Um...the latter isn't 5.45x18mm (http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21106&highlight=guest), is it? The shoulder looks more prominent.

Certainly looks like the 12.7.

I'm holding a 14.5x114 right now, which doesn't have the pronounced body taper that the 12.7 has.

I'm pretty sure that the length of the neck on the other one makes a 5.45x18.

[max popenker]

well, the xcorrect answer is 12.7x108 (or, as you call it 12.7 Degtyarov) and 5.45x18 PSM. I knew it would be easy =)

and here's the bonus - the famous 9x39mm SP-6 AP ammo along with 6mm (.24") steel plate, penetrated at 100 meters.

sweet merciful jesus!


that is a mean lookin 9mm

[marklbucla]

So do we have a winner in the '9mm' vs. .45 debate? :D

[Snowdog]

Man, I guess I don't know half what I thought I did about ammunition... I've heard of the PSM and its 5.45x18 round, but never the others.

That 9x39, is that essentially a 7.62x39 case necked up to a 9mm?

Seems I learn new things here daily.

Dear Santa,
I've finally decided what I want for Christmas, and its anything chambered in 9x39.

Sincerely,
Kharn :D
