thank you for all this information it is truly interesting
but the WI had a somewhat different point
the point was, and im sorry if i didnt put it in the right way, what would this do to nato stile body armour?
someone mentioned the rifle round can "tear trough" body armour
with this in mind i had the idea of a urban tactical unit of a dosen gunman, armed with AKs and RPGs but at least two or three carying high powered battle rifles, and actually using them, in combination with AK fire, on relativelly short range targets, in other words shooting armoured soldiers from some 100-200 meters
or taking a place 500-700 meters awy and attempt to pin down a group of soldiers in body armour
one of the basic consequences i can imagine, if the "tear trought" armour capability is an actuall fact, is more casulties on side of western forces during firefights, wich would impact morale at home( war becoming even more unpopular) and in the warzone, (soldiers loosing faith in their armour, greater percived risk of getting killed and so on)
for this i thought a tradition of mass producing battle rifles in the soviet union after WW2 is needed, so as to provide cheap and avalable guns parts and ammo, as the western production is not as cheap, or avalable in most warzones
or am i compeltely wrong on all of this?
