Decisive Action

News from Jackson City, Mississippian weapons designers have commissioned a new round of ammunition, the 7.62mm SLAPP (Saboted Light Armour-Penetrating Plus) round, and the 5.56mm ATAPR (Anti-Tank Armor Piercing Round), along with the 20mm special ATAP (Anti-Tank Armor Piercing) projectile, intended to be used in the 20mm grenade portion of the OICW rifle.
The ammunition in question, while very expensive, at 5 dollars per round for the 20mm, 1 dollar per round for the 5.56mm, and 2 dollars per round for the 7.62mm, is considered a revolution in munitions technology.
These new rounds will give Mississippian ground soldiers, in the proper situations, the potential ability to neutralize an armored vehicle. For instance, a soldier with a 20mm projectile in his grenade launcher portion of the OICW, will be able to potentially stop a T-90 or comparable tank, depending on shot placement and the angle of the round.
A soldier with a 7.62mm or 5.56mm special round, will be able to penetrate any known model of personal body armor or combat suit system. For instance, see what happens when Mississippian Crusader Body armor is hit by a 7.62mm SLAPP round.
(Cut to footage, soldiers have gathered around on a firing line, one holds an M-14B rifle, he raises it up tight against his shoulder and takes aim at the suit of Crusader Body Armor, about 400 meters away, on a mannequin. The soldier gently squeezed the trigger and immediately the mannequin flew backwards, at least sixty feet, and as the camera zoomed in, it was clear it would have been a fatal blow, the mannequin’s chest was entirely destroyed, a hole the size of a quarter was in the front of the mannequin, but the exit wound was nearly the size of a baseball. The soldiers started to cheer, one shouted, “Damn, that’s some powerful crap there!”)
