And, I make one other observation, which the article did not address, but is only a matter of time. Wanna bet that this 500 S&W round will have no problem going through type 2 body armor?

Velocity is what goes thru armor, rather than just muzzle energy

Visualize the muzzle velocity of a .223 bullet in plastic sabot put in a .50 case. Then consider that the formula for muzzle energy is 1/2 MV²

Yea, but the impact energy of this round will push the trauma plate on a vest out of the wearer's back so penitration is sort of a moot point.

And your credentials as an expert on the subject are....?

Woody.

P.S. Yes, I am an expert on engineering so I need to establish your credentials so I know if we can have an intelligent conversation or not.
