[QUOTE="ragboy, post: 1729671, member: 4151"] When you're talking about a .50, where you hit them is immaterial. Unless it's a digit. You hit them in the arm, their torso's shredded. Their leg; they have no legs. There's really no middle ground with that bullet. And medieval armor is not going to ablate the round. Not one iota. I've fired a .50 into a BMP at 500 meters, and you know what you can see? Light. Through the holes. Straight through. It's an anti-materiel weapon. (Technically, it's illegal to fire at troops by the Geneva convention..but that's beside the point). It was designed to punch through lightly armored vehicles and aircraft. A knight in armor at practically any range is dead, dead, dead with a trained soldier behind the weapon. And if it's vehicle mounted with a fire control system, then he's even more dead, faster and at greater ranges. I had a tank commander that could hit a troop target at 500m with one shot every darn time (within the 1 minute engagement time). But, like others have said. This is a cinematic game. If you want to play d20 Realistic with any weapon, then your heroes won't last long...at least not all of them. Anyway... [/QUOTE]
