Questions about 88 sniper rifle firing 5.8mm heavy bullets

The name of the 5.8mm heavy bomb was later called "5.8mm machine bomb", in order to increase the warhead and improve the firepower of the machine gun at a long distance (especially the penetration ability); If you don't work hard to improve the accuracy, don't expect him to play the role of sniper bullets.

Corresponding to a 5.8mm bullet, it should be a 5.56mm Mk262 sniper bullet of the same level, with a warhead weight of 5 grams. However, Mk262 is developed from professional competition-grade bullets, and its accuracy is much better than that of 5.8mm machine bullets, but the price is too high, and only a small amount is supplied to troops.

7.62x5 1mm ordinary bullet has a warhead weight of only 9.72g, which is less than twice that of 5.8mm machine bullet. Even for the M 1 18LR sniper bomb, the weight of the warhead is 1 1.34g, which is about 2.3 times that of the 0.8mm machine bomb. The 5.8mm heavy bomb weighs only 5g, which is one third of NATO's 7.62X5 1mm full-power bomb.
