Talk:5.8×42mm

message: On the page about 5.56x45, the cartridge's muzzle velocity is said to be 1,766 joules and 1,303 ft. lbs.
On the page about 5.8x42, the cartridge's muzzle velocity is said to be 1,800 joules and 1,300 ft. lbs.
I realize that there are differences in standards, but this is pretty blatant. If someone can find another source for the muzzle energy on 5.8x42, that would be wonderful.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.121.181.251 (talk) 18:56, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Surely, this should read "steel"?!          Heavenlyblue (talk) 08:56, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Casing Material 

message: At the end of the article, it says :
" However, testing of the previous DBP87/95 5.8mm rounds showed that they were less likely to cause serious wounds. The issue was addressed with the new DBP10 round.[7]"
The REF "7" refers to this webpage
http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htweap/20120711.aspx
however that webpage says the opposite: 
"Testing showed that the new 5.8mm round was less likely to cause serious wounds. This issue has not been addressed with the new DBP10 round." 
has NOT been addressed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vmaldia (talk • contribs) 14:45, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

message: "...utilizes a longer streamlined bullet with a heavy steel core for increased range and penetration."
Steel is less dense than either lead or copper, the other materials the bullet would be made of, so a steel core would decrease range and possibly penetration and the core should be described as "light". Maybe the writer confused steel with tungsten? Or maybe replace 'heavy' with 'hardened' if it is using hardened steel? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.31.106.35 (talk) 19:50, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
