50 BMG Pressure Wave Kill


I read a great book on the Apache helicopter. It describes the flechettes inside the rockets. They are about the size of pencils and made of metal. The velocity is so high that if they pass within 12" of your body, flesh will be torn off!!!! That is pretty bad ass.
 
50 bmg is just a big 30-06 round

The video is unavailable.

But basic math

Momentum = Mass times Velocity
Kinetic energy is 1/2 mass x velocity squared.

A 30-06 I’ll say if 150 grains- @ 2750 FPS -call it a garand load

A 50 bmg is say 650 grains at about the same FPS

So the 50 has 4-5 times the momentum due to more mass
And it’s KE is not that extreme as the velocity - which gets squared- is the same.


So a shockwave kill seems like BS to me.....

B-17's dropped millions of flechettes over German factory cities during WWII, in an age of PGM's it's hard to wrap your head around factory workers being targets of bombing raids but whatever shuts down the Panzer, Stuka and ordnance production lines...

That video has been debunked many times in the past. It's not only true, I believe it's been proven that he lied and fabricated the entire thing.
