it only increases velocity (fragmentation threshold), and with it the effective range...~25yd more maybe afaik...also depending on what ammo is being used etc
Diemaco sfw stopping power
does anyone know if the diemaco sfw would have more muzzle velocity or range than the m4 carbine, i know that the barrel of the sfw is 16 in,
but is that enough to increase the muzzle velocity of the weapon

I can tell mcsplurry is not having a good start.

Mcsplurry mate, read round the subject first (Wikipedia, isn't that accurate but it's a start!). Then you can re-think your post as you may have the wrong end of the stick.
heh, I was just about to ask "what is stopping power?"...socratic method so to speak.

what i meant was muzzle velocity im, sorry i screwed up
and the weapon would be using the ss109 round
A difference of 1.5 inches would be negligable I think.
i have been told of many squaddies complaning that there m4 dosent have
the "stopping power" to effectivly drop an enemy in one hit even within 150m.
Tell that to the girlfriend
Naw....to easy.
Tell that to the girlfriend
I walked right into that one!
"Squaddies"? Not seen many squaddies using M4's in combat.
The M4 is starting to get rather maligned, if it was that crap no-one would use it. A lot of the reports of so-called lack of stopping power stemmed from using the M4 past its effective range. Within 150m the M4 should have no problem. There were rumours floating about (here we go!) of certain SFW users in Afghan in the early days requesting LSWA2 as the open ranges of Afghan didn't lend themselves too well to 16 inch carbines. (Just rumours, don't quote me!)
has anyone here used a diemaco sfw or an m4 in combat?
...... sorry I tried to resist, but I am weak.
Mcspulrry try googling 5.56mm vs 7.62mm. That should answer your question.
