Surprising, since bullets shot out of any gun other than the ar15 do not move fast enough to cause any damage.

Reminds me of a cartoon in American Rifleman (or one of the mags we got) in the ‘60s - Two guys standing by a car with steam coming from an obviously trashed engine and the guy holding a .44 Magnum Revolver is smiling at the other and saying “Packs quite a punch, doesn’t it?”

Interesting. Take out the timing chain, engine stops cold.
I’d like to see this done to a vehicle put in drive just idling slowly to see what would happen -how far it would go.

Shooting car engines with 50cal was addressed in Tom Clancy’s “Rainbow Six”. One of the “snipers” used a MacMillan 50cal rifle, and during one operation he stopped a van driven by terrorists by putting a round through the engine block. Knowing Clancy’s penchant for realism, he probably wasn’t guessing about the effects of that round on vehicle engines.

Was a bit underwhelming. I thought .50 cal would blow it up in a nucular fireball.
