Banana Ballistics fired some .50 SLAP into various thicknesses of mild steel.
Mild steel has DR 56 per inch.
Normal .50 BMG does 6dx2 pi+. SLAP is APDS and GURPS: High Tech says that becomes 6dx3 (2) pi.
That's an average hit of 63, which should penetrate 126 DR, that should punch 2" of mild steel (DR 112). But it didn't.
The 355gr projectile at 3,184.4 fps calculates to a "mere" 6dx2 (2) pi or 84 DR...
1.5" of mild steel has a DR of 84, so it should just barely penetrate with nothing left over to damage the target. There's a bulge, but no hole...
SLAP sort of GURPS?
