BF2S Forums whats the 50 cal?

Concerning aircraft cannons, the F-35B uses a 25mm Gau-12 with 220 rounds and the J-10 uses a 32mm, the Mig-29 has a 30mm GSH, which should be the same as the Sukhois.

the only 50 cals in this game are the M95 sniper rifle, vehicle mounted machine guns, the APC's machine guns

i think that's about it.... unless the L96A1 is a 50 cal... is a 7mm a 50 cal?

I think the L96A1 is a 7.62 Magnum, the only .50 personal weapon is the M95 and its why it has such power to penetrate cockpit glass.

Does the Desert Eagle Hand Gun, use .50's?

IN CSS the Deagle (same thing) does.

If you're looking for the best example of a .50 cal or what is most commonly associated with 0.50 cal.  That would be a Browning Machine gun.  More or less the same machine gun used in WWII.  The US mounted it on everything, The P-51 had 6 of them.

My favorite was the AA unit which was four 0.50 cals on the back of a half-track.

The M-95 fires a 0.50 cal round.

As far as the Desert Eagle is concern, there are different models 0.38, 0.44 and 0.50.  These are different rounds then fired by the M-95 or browning as they are pistol rounds (obvious statment).

A gun that fires a bullet with a diameter of 0.50 inches.

your retarded. not its not.  caliber refers to the speed at which the bullet exits the chamber.

Umm no? Caliber refers to the diameter of the gun barrel's interior, doesn't have anything to do with speed.

Alot of the fighter jets now use 25mm rounds, the AV-8B (Harrier II) aircraft i know for a fact uses it because ive worked on them. And Let me tell u.....them things are HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah, in real life if hit with one of them you'd most likely disentegrate, seeing as thought they're designed for armor(tank) peircing.

I do believe you are no longer a human when hit by a 20 mm gun ! In WW2 they had 20 mm guns but they were mounted on trails and shot in semi auto mode, now imagine those guns, in auto mode, on planes...

Do airplanes IRL shoot at the same rate of fire as in bf2 ?

The 20mm they used in WWII on the airplanes were good, but a .50 cal was a better weapon to arm your aircraft with.

If he means the 30mm for a Blackhawk, then read the article, it'd be too damn heavy.

now, mounted on a tank....

They do put them on blackhawks haven't you guys played a game called BF2?
