I've said it before and I'll probably say it again: the SOTA rules are
screwed up. Instead of making new technology better, it degrades the
performance of the old. I understand this was done because otherwise, in a
few years' time we'd all be using rating 200 white noise generators and
carrying 150M heavy pistols, but it still doesn't make much sense when you
really look at it: it means that an older firearm won't kill as well as a
newer one, for example. But I somehow doubt the bullets from an 1899-
vintage bolt action rifle would bounce off my skin because the SOTA in
1999 is much more advanced...
