THE CARTEL BUILT A .50 CAL SUBMACHINE GUN (Kind of)
This video debunks the idea of a cartel-built .50 BMG submachine gun, presenting evidence it's likely a crude bolt-action rifle. Brandon Herrera explains the physics behind why a blowback .50 BMG SMG is impractical, requiring an impractically heavy bolt and resulting in poor ballistic efficiency due to short barrel length. The analysis highlights the engineering challenges of adapting high-pressure rounds to simple operating systems.
