50cal vs Steel Beam
This video from Edwin Sarkissian, a high-authority firearms influencer specializing in destructive testing, explores the penetration capabilities of various calibers against steel I-beams. The .50 BMG round, particularly the Black Tip AP variant fired from a Serbu BFG-50A, proved capable of penetrating all three beams, while other calibers like 9mm, .44 Magnum, .500 Magnum, .30-30 Winchester, 7.62x39mm, .458 SOCOM, 7.62x51mm, and .50 AE failed to achieve full penetration.
