	:That's an enduring myth, actually. The US army actually tested the 13.2mm TUF round, which was semi-rimmed, in competition to a scaled up .30-06. The .30-06 based round won the competition and eventually became the .50 BMG. Interestingly the Germans had been working on a .50 cal MG of their own using the 13.2mm round, the MG.18, but it never entered service. - [[User:Nyles\|Nyles]]		:That's an enduring myth, actually.

	::- I think Nyles has it - I believe the deal was is that when we encountered the German 13mm, the Army requested having something similar. They may have had influence off the German round, but I agree that I too don't think actually worked off the German round as a base. Winchester actually developed the round, and Browning just ~~set up up~~ the gun to fire it. Indeed I recall always reading that the .50 cal round was just scaled up from existing .30-06 rounds, as Nyles said (With Browning simply scaling up his 1917/1919 guns to fire it).
