Grand Admiral, First Order Central Command
Because I can't use Skype on the ships computers.
Discussion topic: People who use real-world caliber bullets for Star Wars slugthrowers.
Maybe it's just me, but I get the distinct feeling a 7.62x39 bullet would do jack-all to most armor in Star Wars. In fact I would imagine conventional ballistics would be generally pretty ineffective. Increasing the size of the round is viable I suppose, 12.7mm (the Russian .50) rifles everywhere would certainly pack a punch, assuming you had a way to manage the recoil and such.
But .223? It's a light but high velocity round. But high velocity compared to a blaster? I don't think so, and if blasters are known to be ineffective against certain types of armor, surely the bullet from an M16 is like a spitball.
