It took 6 without about an inch and a half area before the 7th broke it. Extremly impressive. As an engineer seeing the failure mode of the impact area was very interesting. You can see the the many folds of steal where it broke down.

Imagine some moose limb in Iraq taking cover behind the cinder block walls like the ones used here for the backstop.

Lets try that again with DU .50 BMG

[sit-rep]

I was amazed the rounds that did hit cut in half vs deflected. The round that did snap it hit a flat spot from a previous round...

I got a kick out of the lil’ japaneese guy’s body language when his sword did let go lol...

Now let's try a few other .50 rounds: the cartridge, caliber .50, Ball, Spotter-Tracer, M48A1 for the M8C spotter rifle atop M40A1 recoilless rifles comes to mind, as do a few for the M2 Browning MG and Barrett AM rifles, the cartridge, cal..50, Saboted Light Armor Penetrator-Tracer (SLAP-T), M962 and cal. .50: Armor Piercing Incendiary (API), MK 211 MOD 0 *Raufoss* rounds ought to be pretty spectacular.
