...400 meters. How well documented is this tactic as opposed to 300 meters or 600 meters?
Hard experience--wherein YoungSon experienced/had to overcome it multiple times.
He was quite specific and spoke of it repeatedly. (And as FiST Team leader, he was
the one that had to deal with it while his company was getting shot up.)

I cannot speak to the field performance of the newer solid penetrator/M855A1 except to
