This video from DemolitionRanch tests the common movie trope of shooting through chains. The expert instructor, Matt Carriker, demonstrates that common pistol calibers like .22 LR and 9mm, as well as a 12 Gauge slug, are ineffective at breaking even small chains. High-powered rifle rounds like the .308 begin to show effectiveness, eventually breaking a medium chain with multiple shots. A .50 BMG round, however, easily severs a heavy industrial chain in a single shot, with APIT rounds proving similarly effective against an even larger chain.
