Jon, "Materiel" note the 'e' is the correct term. The weapons exist now;
your good old Barret .50 cal, and Steyr have a similar weapon that fires
a sabot round.

Personally in SGII the HAMR would make teh best anti-PA weapon you could
get. Used as a sniper weapon you get a d12X2 impact for a Major hit on a
target! That'll shake any PA squad! Useful aginst light armoured
vehicles too!
