This experiment tests the penetration depth of a .50 BMG round into a mountain. Despite using armor-piercing incendiary and tracer rounds fired from a semi-automatic rifle, the bullets only penetrated approximately 12 inches into the rocky soil. The recovered cores suggest that even powerful .50 caliber rounds offer significant cover against mountain terrain.
