Don't know if this is accurate info, but if it is I thought it was interesting.

Yes - had that posted on CombatCarry.com other day.  

We took it to be pretty authentic - and it somewhat highlights the remaining usefulness of all the old WWII type weapons!!

I was talking with a guy who was just back from Iraq and he said pretty much the same thing about the .50 cal.  It went through everything and was the definite king over there.  Inspecting the size of those rounds, it is easy to see why.

Was especially interested in the fact that the M-14 was being reissued.  I love the M1A and will add one to the collection as soon as I am able.
