Best Answer

The MK318 MOD 0 Special Operations Science and Tactics round has no powder change. It is the bullet design itself that is improved which gives it advantages when firing through glass or metal barriers. It is in fact a variant of the Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claw round designed for big game hunting using open tipped bullets.

What is the most powerful assault rifle?

There is no "most powerful"... It's all about the terminal ballistics of the round the gun fires, a 5.45 won't be more damaging out of one assault rifle than the other. But the intermediate cartridge that has the most damage potential today would be the 5.56. (First used in the M16) Newer mk318 mod0 5.56 is far less velocity dependent, allowing it to fragment more reliably out of shorter barrels. When hit with the speedy 5.56, it penetrates a few inches, then breaks in half, it will proceed to tumble and fragment, creating far bigger wound cavities than any other intermediate cartridge.
