.308 Round (Fallout: New Vegas)

The .308 round is a type of ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It is the same as the Fallout 3 version and is still used by the sniper rifle.

.308, Armor Piercing
Armor-piercing rounds are designed for punching through armor plating, for this purpose they have a greatly strengthened case with a specially hardened and shaped nose. Due to the high muzzle velocity and penetrative properties of the round damage to the target is slightly reduced.

.308, JSP Hand Load
Jacketed, Soft Point ammunition is designed with a semi-jacketed harder metal coating with a soft bullet tip. It offers an evenly managed damage and penetrative power.

.308, Hollow point
Hollow point bullets mushroom and break up on impact, causing massive trauma on fleshy, unarmored targets. However, this also means they break up when they hit things like armor plate, drastically reducing the weapon's penetrating power.
