One of the most feared modern firearm is a .50 calibre semi-auto sniper rifle. The Barrett M82. This rifle, mainly used by the military as a weapon to take down strategic enemy radar or to stop a moving target such as a vehicle. With its enormous punch, a well placed shot could easily stop a vehicle. Have you wondered what would happen if it was shot at a human body? Well... Lets see..
At 1000 yrds the bullet is gonna have more power than a .44 magnum pointing blank range. Like in movies you'll see blood effects splashing out of the back of the head. However, at that distance the bullet will come down directly on top of you, due to the trajectory, your basically lobbing a bullet up and back down. Here's the graphic part. The hydrostatic shock that follows the bullet will be so powerful it will peel you apart like tearing a banana. You would have limbs flying 20 ft in all directions. So technically it destroys you at that instance and it would be pretty much like a grenade effect from 5 ft away. If there were to be a funeral for your body it would be a closed casket assuming you can find all the parts. =D If you've seen RamboIV the movie, he'd get on the .50 machine gun, blowing heads off and stuff so technically that would be rather accurate if its done in real situation but from a farther distance it would be catastrophic. you realize that a .50 is also used against light armoured vehicles and targets through concrete walls. So as far as power concerns, inside this barrett .50 cal round it's probably the most powerful machine gun and sniper rifle you'll ever combine.
The Barret M82 is a semi auto light .50 cal. most snipers of that cal are a bolt but the barret is a remarkable gun for the technology, semi autos tend to be less accurate than bolt. but i know that the M82 can take a lethal shot from beyond 1740yds cold bore.
Watch this video on how this guy fires his M82A1 and later at the end of the video sees how it yanks off the 40lb steel plate from the pole. The sound of it is simply epic! I would want to fire one of this guns when i;m still alive. =D
