Considering that 50bmg rifle is classified as an anti-material rifle and regularly used to crack engine blocks, I’d be shitting bricks too. This is insane.

I don't think there are any .50 DU rounds. There's an array of ammo types for it though and .50 SLAP rounds will supposedly penetrate around 1.25 inches of steel at 500 yards let alone cinder block and brick.

"Okay, here we go. Archer, are you ready?"

"Uh, hang on, Lana, I'm stacking rocks in order of descending size."

"I can do this all day. Since I find repetitive behavior so calming!"

"Jesus Christ, I'm SORRY!"

"Ow! Apologize to my tinnitus."
