TheRealGrossaaa 1 Posted May 31, 2018 The line further away is from a 5.56 Dual-Purpose (underwater) round, the other from a regular 5.56. My question is: Why does the 5.56 DP perform so bad above water ? Tecnically, since air resistance is much lower than water resistence, the bullet should go further than ~60m before starting to drop, shouldn't it ? If someone could provide me with some info I'd be thankful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harzach 2507 Posted May 31, 2018 It's a supercavitating round, which makes it usable in water, but reduces effectiveness in "normal" situations. I assume it's based on real supercavitating ammunition, which is generally rated ineffective out of water, at least at smaller calibers like 5.56. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted May 31, 2018 Given the slow muzzle velocity it also seem to sport a very heavy bullet, to heavy and to slow for decent range in air. Almost like a musket ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
