He said the ballistics of the frangible bullets were so far off
from Real Life (tm) that the usefulness was limited.


Jeff

Actually there was an error between regular rounds and tracer rounds as well.
On a strafing mission you could aim the tracers and see the ground kick up well
behind the tracers. Big difference in ballistic coefficient between the two Aim
the tracers and you would shoot over the target unil you corrected..
