Maybe, but only if you shoot and hit it - then still a chance it keeps going.

A Chevy would................

Well, now they’ve done it. I’ll never enjoy another movie again.

Will a .50 Cal Stop A Running Engine?

Yes. Just one headshot to the driver and the vehicle with the running engine stops - guaranteed.

Yes, if you hit the right spot.

A random shot will likely eventually stop the engine due to fluid leakage. A shot hitting the crank shaft or timing belt will stop it cold.

I witnessed a helicopter crash on board USS Princeton in 1961. Night operations, pilot of an HR2S (twin engines, clam shell doors) got vertigo and hit the island with the rotor blades. A piece of the aluminum blades went THROUGH the engine block of an APU, exited and destroyed the steel handle. Never did find the piece of blade.

Well, 20 MMs didnt stop some P47s engines in WW2.

Depends if they are hit properly I guess.

It works better if the eight .50 cal Ma-Duece machine guns are mounted on a P-51 Mustang.

FullMag Youtuber Ford truck usage has taken its toll, the cylinder has gone out. It would cost more to have it fix then to just go out and buy a new truck.

What does it mean when a cylinder goes out? That truck had life left in it. Used trucks are always valuable.

I once owned the same model F150 in 4X4. It had nearly 300,000 miles on it and had a very, very rusty body due to 16 years of road salt. It was still as tough as a mule. Got $1,500 for it.

My question is will it stop the motor on a pimpmobile?

A California Highway Patrol Officer killed a Volkswagen in the SF Bay Bridge tunnel with a single shot from his .357 @ 30 years ago, but he hit it in the carburetor.
