Quote:BTW, its the 12.5 degayrtov round that is the old soviet equivalent to the .50, it was originally intended as an antiaircraft round.Yes it was, but Russians have a tradition of "bigger" rounds.
Their 9 mm (not the Macarov) is 9X21 instead of 9x19 in west.
And they still use the good old 0.30 (7.62X54 rather than NATo 7.62X51) in their machineguns.
Kind regards
