Apparently, when they tested it out, it not only tore through soft body armor but also reinforced concrete. The manufacturer tried to protest that it took concentrated and sustained fire to cut through, but since they'd basically sold it entirely as a one-trick pony, even partially refuting that...

Generally, yes. On the other hand, back in the '70s something called the American-180 was successfully marketed to prisons and police departments as a last ditch riot control weapon. This was a .22 LR submachine gun that looked like the bizarre love child of a Tommy Gun and a Lewis light...

In general, real life body armor really doesn't work like video games, especially when you're talking about multi-hit resistance. Video games typically treat armor as either a damage reduction where it no-sells hits below a threshold or unless they have a special status or as just an extra...

Sure. We're not actually disagreeing, I'm just being a little more specific because of the time period. The OICW was still under active development at this point and the T-60 neatly solves the "it's still too heavy and bulky" issue. The parallalel OCSW is actually convertible between the XM307...

As far as "nearly off the shelf", I'd argue for arming real T-60s with the XM 307 OCSW 25mm and/or a scaled up OICW.

Which is exactly what I said -- they could be carrying cut-down .50-cal MGs and/or a version of the OICW.

While it's meant to be set in the same universe and as accurate as they feel is practical, the TV show isn't going to draw *that* hard on a couple of sentences from past official lore, especially when they can validly say the 2500-joule figure was talking about the older T-51 and these are...

If the power armor's armor can absorb 2500-3000 joules, then it's going to be all but invulnerable to intermediate calibers that all run well below 2000 joules even with hot loads. However, full 7.62x51mm NATO runs right around 3500 joules and should punch through even without weak spots and/or...

LAV is literally the namesake Light Armored Vehicle, and the armament of light armored vehicles runs the entire range from a GPMG all the way up to light tank cannons. France was especially fond of that, with multiple wheeled armor vehicles so armed. VAB says bonjour.

The weak spot still took dedicated AP rounds from a high-powered hand cannon fired with extreme precision to breach. And you have to compare it to Interceptor body armor, which has slightly superior protection in the front and back chest plates, but only protects against 9mm pistol rounds in the...

In all seriousness -- the "2500 joules" kinetic protection of the T-50 is roughly equivalent to Class III body armor. This is slightly less protection than the Interceptor body armor with SAPI plates which was standard issued at that time, but provides nearly *full body* protection at that level...
