Knowing that you 2 are the resident gun people, I thought you might enjoy seeing the kind of damage a Barrett M82 can do using the Raufoss API round. The first half of the video the guy goes thru basics, the good stuff starts in the second half when he starts shooting the targets and you get to see holes shot thru manhole covers among other things.

I don't mean to sound condescending, but we know the damage a .50 BMG
round can do, that it can shoot thru a inch of steel, etc etc...

I want the special .50 cal EXPLOSIVE rounds our SpecForce boys use.....

NOW I'D PAY A DOLLAR TO SEE THAT!

I was trying to find the demo video for the 20mm depleted uranium round that I found about a year ago, but it looks like the site for that one went down. It was blowing clean holes through 3-4 inches of armour plate, and there'd be a bright white flash on impact. That was impressive.
