Summary

0006548: MK262:M855:M855A1 penetration is incorrect

Description

MK262:
rhs_mag_30rnd_556x45_mk262_stanag: initspeed=838.8
rhs_ammo_556x45_Mk262_Ball: caliber=0.677

M855:
rhs_mag_30rnd_556x45_m855_stanag: initspeed=948.842
rhs_ammo_556x45_M855_Ball: caliber=0.44

M855A1:
rhs_mag_30rnd_556x45_m855a1_stanag: initspeed=960
rhs_ammo_556x45_M855A1_Ball: caliber=0.65

Penetration (mm) at initSpeed (as if using rhs_weap_m16a4 at point blank):
     MK262: 838.8 * 0.677 * 0.015 = 8.518014
       M855: 948.842 * 0.44 * 0.015 = 6.2623572
    M855A1: 960 * 0.65 * 0.015 = 9.36

M855 should have superior penetration to MK262[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
M855 should be able to penetrate 1/4" RHA (6.35mm)[4][7]
M855A1 should have superior penetration to M855[8]
