: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]]
