  1. The non-corrosive ammo had velocity drop precipitously in severe cold. The short comings becoming obvious in the Korean war make sense. That said, it's a great gun and quite effective against bipedal targets, in a reasonable distance.

  2.  @Joe45-91  Well three shots could easily miss all off switches. Plus with FMJ, and a skinny target there probably was an icepick sort of penetration. Same issue happened during the Blackhawk down incident in Somalia. Granted M855 coming out of a 12.7" barrel absolutely ice picks targets that are skinny.
