Throw enough lead at them and they will eventually fail a Fort save.You could, I suppose, raise the DC as they take more damage. +1 per 5 or something like that. I know that variations of what I just suggested are fairly popular 'house rules'.Several reasons... mass is certainly one of them. The main reason why there are .50 cal sniper rifles, however, is trajectory and balistics. It's a remarkably accurate round over long distances (flat line out to close to one mile). If they could that level of accuracy out of a smaller round, most snipers would prefer to carry a lighter weapon I suspect.When it all comes down to it... a .50 cal shot to the head and a .223 shot to the head still likely leave you just as dead.You're likely right... if your players are into a bit of the ultra realism, D20M is likely not the best system for them.</blockquote>
