Thought all those interested in gun, and caliber in Shadowrun would like the following.
Some special forces guys were lamenting the 5.56mm round's lack of stopping power. However, For a variety of reason, we are not ditching the M-16 and the related weapons fielded by other NATO nations. So a munitions and firearm company decided to scale up the ammo that could be fired by an existing 5.56 weapon; and the .458 SOCOM was born. P.S. For those wondering, the company named it SOCOM after the guys who thought it up, not because the actual Special Operations COMand ordered it. |
