Talk:12.7x108mm

Ammo type
Now, I've taken a look at those belts. Are the bullets red-tipped, or is that just me? Red-tipped ComBlock bullets stand for Incendiary rounds - not your most common munition.46.138.190.102 16:35, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

I wouldn't know. We should make not of it in trivia none the less. Chaos ian7 17:50, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

For completeness, this is a full recognition guide for former ComBlock rounds:


 * standart ball - no color


 * incendiary - red


 * tracer - green


 * armor-piercing incendiary - black and red


 * rifle heavy round - silver (prior to 1978)


 * armor-piercing-incendiary-tracer - red and purple


 * subsonic - black and green


 * heavy round - yellow


 * overpressurized - black


 * inert training - identations on the casing and oxidation, like that on Dirty Rounds, because they are "recycled" munitions

The 12.7mm bullets that are loaded into the various DShK's are not red tipped so that part of the trivia should be removed, it's only on some of the belts that are at the exchange kiosks. Smokey McPott 09:01, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Not some, but, apparently, all. That deserves a trivia note. - 46.138.174.247 09:43, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
