I know this young man (in the Army) .
You told me that he will be manning a vehicle mounted .50 caliber gun.
I was very interested so I asked him about his training.
All was well until he told me how effective and ferocious the .50 caliber round is......
"A Round out of that gun will take a man's arm off...
even if it passes within 3 inches...."
I always thought a projectile had to actually hit a target to do damage.
Is this crap actually taught to our young servicemen?
