Talk:5mm round (Fallout: New Vegas)

Power
I understand that they didn't want minigun rounds to be too powerful, but 5mm has more lead AND powder than 5.56mm. TJbrena 16:36, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

It should be more powerful in the Assault Carbine, even if only a difference of 2 DAM. I'm not complaining, just making an observation. --TJbrena 20:22, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Well, your answers have been answered! Now, your garden variety 5mm bullet can penetrate up to 10 DT. The armor-piercing variety now penetrates 25 DT!

In other words, deathclaws and BOS soldiers faced with 5mm armor piercing are going to get shredded very finely! --Barsaxmus 05:46, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Are there any enemies/character with more than 25 DT in the game, except the Brotherhood of Steel, or is the 5mm AP the perfect ammunition? Comedian1988 22:36, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Securitron mk2 with 30DT (and 175HP in Vegas Strip or 400HP during The Second Battle of Hoover Dam) Rzeźnik 09:58, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
