  1. While the M338 does give boots on the ground considerably more firepower, its no replacement for 50 cal in any way First is rounds, high-explosive incendiary armor-piercing (HEIAP), Mk 211 Mod 0 aka Raufoss MK-211 and saboted light armor penetrator (SLAP), M903 has anti-materiel asnd anti personnel properties that no 338 round could ever match. Second and most important is energy its possible for vest to stop 338 round however with big 50 even if the vest stopped penetration, the target will die from shock from the shear amount kinetic energy of the impact So no 338 is no replacement for it
