The rebels , who were mostly from Ulster and about 6000 strong , did not have siege artillery ( or indeed any artillery ) to breach the walls of Drogheda and so blockaded the town , hoping to starve it into surrender . Drogheda was garrisoned by about 2 , 000 English soldiers under Colonel Tichborne . Assaults on Drogheda . The rebels tried three assaults on the town . On the first occasion they simply tried to rush the walls . In their second attempt , a small party of 500 men broke into the town at night through dilapidated sections of the walls , with the aim of opening the gates for a storming party of 700 men outside . However , the initial incursion was repulsed in confused fighting and in the morning , the garrison opened the gates to rebels outside , only to take them prisoner once they entered the town . The rebels tried for a final time in March 1642 , when a relief of the town was imminent , attacking the walls with scaling ladders , but were again repulsed . Siege lifted . Shortly afterwards , English reinforcements arrived from Dublin , under Colonel Moore , who was later created the Earl of Drogheda . They broke the rebel siege and also drove them out of Dundalk and back into Ulster . A second , more famous siege took place in 1649 , when Oliver Cromwell ' s New Model Army took the town and massacred its by then Royalist and Catholic garrison . See Siege of Drogheda .

12 . 7×108mm The 12 . 7×108 mm cartridge is a heavy machine gun and anti - materiel rifle cartridge used by the former Soviet Union , the former Warsaw Pact , modern Russia , and other countries . It is used in the same roles as the NATO . 50 BMG ( 12 . 7×99mm NATO ) cartridge . The two differ in bullet shape and weight , and the casing of the 12 . 7x108mm is slightly longer and thicker , allowing it to hold slightly more of a different type of powder . The 12 . 7x108mm can be used to engage a wide variety of targets on the battlefield , and will destroy unarmored vehicles , penetrate lightly armored vehicles and damage external ancillary equipment ( i . e . : searchlights , radar , transmitters , vision blocks , engine compartment covers ) on heavily armored vehicles such as tanks . Armor piercing . 50 cal ammunition will penetrate around 25 mm of armor . Normal full metal jacket . 50 cal ammunition will only dimple tank armor , causing no damage . In the Finnish Defence Forces , the NSV chambered in 12 . 7×108 is used primarily in an anti - aircraft role by all branches . Cartridge dimensions . The 12 . 7×108mm has 22 . 72 ml ( 350 grains ) HO cartridge case capacity . 12 . 7×108 maximum cartridge dimensions . All sizes in millimetres ( mm ) . Americans would define the shoulder angle at alpha / 2 ≈ 18 . 16 degrees . According to guidelines the 12 . 7×108mm case can handle up to 360 MPa ( 52 , 213 psi ) piezo pressure . In C . I . P . regulated countries every rifle cartridge combo has to be proofed at 125 % of this maximum CIP pressure to certify for sale to consumers . Incorrect interchangeability claims . It is often claimed that the US . 50 BMG ( 12 . 7×99mm NATO ) cartridge can be fired in Soviet / Russian 12 . 7×108mm machine guns . The 12 . 7×108mm was even called a “ . 51 - caliber . ” This often claimed interchangeability is an assumption made from the 12 . 7×108mm being listed as “ . 511 - caliber ” in US intelligence publications during the Vietnam War . The bullets used for both cartridges are ~ . 51 inches in diameter . . 50 caliber , 1 / 2 of an inch , is the diameter of the hole bored down the barrel of the gun first . Then rifling is cut all around the bored hole to a depth of . 005 " . Thus , . 500 + . 005 + . 005 = . 510 . " Upon firing the bullet engages the rifling , and . 005 " grooves are pressed into the surface of the bullet to impart spin to stabilize the bullet . Despite the similar bullet diameters , the dimensional differences between the two cartridges would prevent either being correctly chambered in a firearm designed for the other .
