Swat teams hate the thought of a .50 too.Body armour is useless with a .50 around.
I think that also holds true for the "lowly" 308 and 30-06.

Unless they are wearing Level III+ rifle plates, any 5.56mm, 5.45x39mm, 7.62.39mm will punch through armor. At close range, some will even go through Level III plates.
Even the hot 7.62x25mm Romanian Tokarev ammo will go through some rifle plates. It’s all about the speed coming out of the muzzle.

Nothing lowly about a .308,one of the best calibers ever developed.

Yep, I don’t think a vest would stand up to a 30’06 Black Tip AP.....
