No, a 5.56 mm - .50 cal round cannot destroy a tank at any range. But, the TC and Gunner are extremely vulnerable to snipers when open hatch, and as has already been shown, the driver can be hit with a very skilled/lucky shot and render the tank an uncontrolled weapon. I am refering to the Marine tank that went over a bridge when the driver was killed, killing the whole crew.
As for ranges, it all depends on model.
for sniper rifles, anywhere from 1100 m to 3 km.
for RPGs/anti-tank missles, 1100 m to 8 km.

Errr Just to be a stickler for detail NS [img]smile.gif[/img] a .50 Callibur round is actually about 12.7mm. The 7.62 round is a .308 calibur or thereabouts [img]smile.gif[/img] The 7.62 is apparently the Sniper calibur of choice except for extremely long ranges in which the .50 cal is the way to go. 5.56mm is the .223 round which is now a good Assault rifle round [img]smile.gif[/img]
Edit: for typo's and accuracy.
