longrifle1000,

Nobodys lieing,

i bet you feel silly after that one huh? The 50 bmg was made to take down vehicles and such, so the incinerary tips would come in handy(is my guess why they were made). I dont think it was meant at all for something made of flesh to experience, atleast somehting that your going to eat later. Althought i think snipers use them ( not 100% positive on that one)

Army, ball ammunition is so powerful it can penetrate one inch of concrete, six inches of sand, and 21 inches of clay at a range of 1,640 yards.[[/color]6[/color]] At a range of 38 yards it can penetrate an inch of armor plate and 16 inches of log wall. Armor-piercing and incendiary ammunition is another basic .50 caliber round which the U.S. Army uses against armored aircrafts and lightly armored vehicles.[7] The armor piercing incendiary rounds are tipped with phosphorous that explodes on impact and burns at 3,000 degrees. These rounds will ignite almost any fuel they encounter, and if shot into a tree will set the tree on fire.[45]........ this came off bradycampaign.org...... maybe you should know a little bit about the 50bmg before you accuse me of lieing. atleast whitetailhunter4637 knows what im talkin bout.

When I was in the Us Armyin 1958, I went to Anti-Aircraft school in Fort Bliss,TX and we were using 20mm rounds to shoot down aircraft.

In FL, we not allowed to use Ball ammunition for hunting.

My choicee for some excitement of the animal being blown apart would to hollow the 750 grain bullet.Oh,a hollow point 50 cal bullet.Aim for the front of the chest while it was looking at you.No explanation needed on details of that.
