I remember playing a case in the fourth Ace Attorney game, and that the suspect being a young, delicate man couldn’t have possibly fired the gun because of how powerful it was it could injure someone untrained to use it (the victim was a secret service agent).
Now that I see the size of that thing, I’m shocked there wasn’t TWO dead bodies at the crime scene because that kid woulda fired himself backward straight through the wall.
My dad worked at the small arms ammunition plant in St Louis during the war and brought home many unassembled 30 & 50 bullets, and several 40mm casings from his time in the Navy, which I remember seeing while growing up.
There was one assembled monster (less primer) of a cartridge he said was an experimental 60 cal armor piercing, never put into production.
None of my siblings have any idea what happened to them.
Oh man. This brings back memories of my collection. I was thinking how impressively large a 30-06 was. Then a friend gave me a couple .50 cal rounds. Shortly before I thought up my username btw. Now I have a couple 20mms that absolutely dwarf the .50s. next, I should try to find a 30mm.
That’s a .50 BMG for the record, if you had a .50 S&W or .50 AE, it would still be sizeable for a *handgun* round but nothing too impressive length wise when beside rifle rounds
That’s a 50. BMG. Something like a 50. Beowulf or 50. AE is alot more average sized. Still thicc as hell, and nice and chunky but not as long. The reason the BMG is so big is because the primary target isn’t a person, it’s vehicles and airplanes, or people behind walls.

For comparison the other cartridges are smaller.
Specifically the .50 BMG. Other 50 caliber rounds are different sizes but share the same or similar bullet diameter.
Big whoop. I’m spooning a Barrett 50 cal – [I could kill a building.](https://youtu.be/OOIsGXSHjbU?si=7LxvqqKoBNzg16sb)
Feels like we still need a banana for scale.

The caliber she told you not to worry about
This feels like the definition of context
Now put a 20mm cartridge next to it. Really puts things in perspective
I can take it
Goes from “Dear recipient” to “Hey, fucker!”
.22LR, 9mm Luger, .38 special, .38 special, .357 Mag, .223/5.56, .308/7.62 x51, .50 BMG
How’d I do?
Why does the .50 Caliber, the largest of the Bullets, not simply eat the others?
That’s a .50 BMG, yeah? A .50 AE would be shorter than the .223. Difference between rifle and pistol ammo.
I love my Barrett, but I shoot my 10/22 and my FN502 the most. You can’t beat the price of .22LR.
What does it do to somebody on the receiving end? Does it just go right through leaving a small hole?

Ahh firearms… the only way to get Americans to understand metric and decimals.
Need a banana for scale sir
If you rotate that bmg is it a bottle opener? Mine is :-]
the barrel she tells not to worry about after you see what it fires
Big badaboom

For those unaware, this isn’t the round that youtuber thought a phone book could stop.
Like, he was still dumb, but not THIS dumb.
Just wait till a .50 is compared to a 14 and 20mm.
I could totally take one to the eye (if I had been born on Krypton, in reality I can barely tank bee stings, so I better shut up.)
Its beautiful

Edit: I was too late lol
Mm yes, big bullet it big

My fave is the difference in .22 LR and .223 being the same diameter bullet but one has a lot more flavor
Now look at the difference between a .50 bmg and a 30mm

20mm vulcan feels left out.
how big is a 50 caliber round compared to a standard buttplug?
You can hide behind telephone pole from all those bullets except .50. saw a YouTube on it yesterday.
