Amidst the vast array of .50-caliber rounds, one name emerges from the shadows - the infamous Raufoss Mk 211, a true force to be reckoned with. This enigmatic ammunition, boasting a multipurpose anti-material high explosive incendiary/armor-piercing nature, possesses the ability to render moderate armored vehicles and helicopters helpless before its might. The fervor surrounding this munition has captivated military enthusiasts and experts alike, as its reputation precedes its every deployment.
However, its immense indiscriminate power comes at a cost, prompting certain governments to take action and ban its use when enemy troops are in the target area. Despite this, fervent debates persist, with some staunchly advocating for its continued presence on the front lines. In hushed tones, it has even been hailed as the ultimate .50-caliber round available in the market today.
While the allure of the Raufoss Mk 211 cannot be denied, the controversy surrounding its extraordinary potency has ignited a fiery discourse. The question lingers: should such a weapon of unparalleled destructive prowess be wielded, or is its restriction a necessary safeguard in the face of its awe-inspiring capabilities? As nations grapple with the dilemma, the legend of the Raufoss Mk 211 only grows, whispered amongst military circles with reverence and trepidation alike.

I mean, I get "No exploding bullets" on smaller rounds against soft targets. It would turn a probable would into a likely kill. It's a humanitarian thing. But .50 BMG (12.7mm) is so large a round, with so much muzzle energy, that hit against a soft target is a probable kill, regardless of secondary effect.

Kentucky Ballistics fired some PLASTIC .50cal training rounds at a ballistic gel dummy, and even that caused insane damage.

In the 1960's my dad's friend Rudy had been in the German Army in the Ski Patrol in Norway. He was strafed by a P-51 Mustang and was hit in the calf and his thigh. It killed some of his fellow soldiers. He always limped. One time we went camping at a lake and I saw a very nasty scar on his leg and saw that his calf was missing a lot of muscle as if a shark but the flesh off, then it healed. The pair of 50BMG rounds passed through flesh only and did not hit bone. He said that he passed out in the cold from loss of blood and woke up in a field hospital lucky to be alive. In the 1990's I got into 1000 yard shooting and had a 42 pound bull barreled bolt action target rifle chambered in .50BMG. We shot many things with it in the Nevada Desert. One shot broke a Chevy 6.2 diesel cylinder head in half. We enjoyed breaking 2 foot boulders into chunks with it. But the biggest disappointment was in shooting semi truck tires on rims. Where the rounds passed through the rubber, it looked like the area was stabbed with an ice pick...no hole. Where they hit the steel rim, there were holes right through the steel.

@pieterveenders9793
@pieterveenders9793 8 месяцев назад
The reason there is a minimum weight for explosive rounds has to do with humane warfare. If you get hit by, as you call them "missiles and shells of insane size and destructive power" then you're pretty certain of a very quick if not instant death, while getting hit in the shoulder by a hypothetical explosive 5,56 round you might slowely bleed out while suffering from the combined effects of a bullet wound, shrapnel, and who knows what else. So obviously the former is quite humane, the latter is not. As a result, it is illegal in warfare to use explosive rounds with less than several hundred grammes of explosive in them against enemy fighters.

For certain weapons, phosphorus etc, I can see the need for a ban considering the savage nature of the damage inflicted on people. However for a round like this I think it would save more livews than it would take. I mean given that it is so potent against vehicles and the like it would make the attackers more circumspect in their willingness to advance thereby reducing overall the amount of casualties generated. It is more of a deterant round in the way I look at it.

My first thought was the American sniper who took out a Taliban machine gun team consisting of 3 people with one of these rounds who where hiding behind a wall. He loaded and fired and all him and his spotter saw was the wall behind them turn red, he took out all 3 and saved the lives of the troops on the ground. Think he was enjoying the enemy for about 12 hours that day. Typical of people who have never been in a fire fight or never served to say what can/can’t be used.

And the human body is 80% water so i would think it has about the same effect on a body. Plus a soldier has a lot of hard surfaces to hit like magazines and body armor that would defiantly cause it to explode.

When I was in the army in 1977 - 79 in Germany we had been firing .50 cal. armor piercing incendiary rounds on the range. Someone brought one of those rounds back to the barracks, and we nipped its nose off the bullet and dug out all the incendiary powder in the tip of the round. When we fired incendiary rounds downrange it looked like no more than a little spark when the rounds impacted. So we touched off the incendiary round, and we were amazed at the size of the flash when the powder caught fire. Luckily, no one was hurt. We took extra special care in removing all the evidence of the incident because the army hates it when soldiers meddle with military grade rounds. We'd have been in big trouble if we were caught.

Like their cargo belt, helmet or canteen!" Meanwhile... "CHECK OUT THESE RECORD-BREAKING SNIPPER SHOTS WITH THE .50 CAL (ON PEOPLE)!"

In the movie Hyena Road, when the SF guys are on the hillside shooting at the potential IED and the leader tells their sniper to load a Rufus, he was referring to this round. The Raufoss MK-211 so it could punch through the pavement and dirt, into the buried munition and ignite it from inside, thus detonating the IED from a safe standoff distance.

So it's ok with big bullets (artillery, missles) but not so much with small bullets? Sounds more like big governments who have a big grip on tanks and aircraft, etc. but not so much on what can be moved around on persons?

A person hit by a 12.7mm round, is not going to notice what kind of round it is. Even a 12.7mm near miss, causes injuries. I think the ICRC, needs to stay out of combat "ideas", as they have no clue.

Well. I saw a .22 long rifle, .223 in a SAW, .308 and one .50 BMG mark2. Good thing I know the difference. A “RAUFUSS” made by NAMMO is simply a Armor piercing, in cinerary HE round. Tracer and non tracer. A very good round. We shoot grey tips all the time! The HAUGE also banned .50 bmg on use against people! So who cares!
@pieterveenders9793
@pieterveenders9793 8 месяцев назад
The treaty of The Hague does not ban .50 BMG use on people, so you're incorrect there. And if your dumb ass thinks "who cares", well the International Criminal Court does, not to mention breaking the rules of war opens up the legal opportunity to the enemy to do the exact same.

@jeffscott3186

The St. Petersburg accords banned specific rounds because they were considered inhumane.They tended not to kill immediately, but maimed leading to a horrific and slow death. Which I believe was the intent. Wounded soldiers can overwhelm an enemy in ways, including morale, that just outright killing them doesn't. The goal wasn't to decrease killing or stop war it was to have less wounded around to deal with. So, in essence, yes war is inhumane, but we don't want it to be this inhumane. Looking at the MK 211 and how it functions, I cannot picture it leaving more people wounded than a standard round but being the exact opposite. It would kill those that would be wounded by a standard round. I don't remember who said it, but "The only way to make warfare more humane is to win quickly." (something close to that) Seems like this might do that. Or not, with both sides using it.

To prohibit it's use against infantry, when they are trying to kill you, seems ridiculous when they can be lobbing mortars at you. Are these bullets more destructive than 60mm mortars, or even grenades from an mk19, that are also used against soldiers? In war, you're trying to kill your enemy before they kill you, but these bureoaucrats seem to be arguing that it's unseemly to kill them too quickly or effectively.

I'd say the $75/round cost eliminates it for any kind of general anti-personnel use. Would make for an expensive war and no benefit for anti-personnel over a regular 50BMG round, or something smaller. I like how the video had a bunch of 22lr rounds at 0:30 though!

The want to ban this ammunitions while bombs, rockets, and artillery grenades are fallowed. Maybe the problem is that when firing a bullet, the shooter is aiming at individuals, while launching a rocket or grenade, the target is a group of people. Understand it, those who can.

Soft point bullets are banned in war. Seeing the damage they do to deer I can understand why; however, the point in war is to eliminate the enemy. Soft points anywhere in the human body would be fatal as would most extremities.

Here's my opinion that nobody asked for. I first went to Iraq in 2006. We were a light recon unit. We drove around in uparmored humves. We had a lot of problems with corruption within the local Iraqi police and army. We didn't trust them in the slightest. We couldn't. Imagine our surprise when we were on patrol one day and we drove through an Iraqi police checkpoint to find a frigging t62 on the side of the road. Our largest capabilities were M2 .50s and mk19 grenade launchers. We couldn't do anything against that tank if we had to. Needless to say, I talked to the commander, and we got some sabot rounds for that .50. At least we could get a mobility kill on an older tank if we maneuvered well. Also, we got a few AT4s, but that doesn't have anything to do with the video. This ammo is necessary.
