The roommate also showed me some 3/8 steel plates with holes the size of a penny that he had just made with a 50bmg

Pretty impressive

Years ago, I found some railroad 'mainline' tie plates, in a trash pile off a spur to an abandoned mine. I hauled a couple along on a visit to a friend's ranch in west Texas, and he set them up as targets. Don't imagine they would stand up to .50 BMG, but they shrugged off the 7.62 NATO FMJ he was shooting in an FAL. Good cheap 'steel targets' if you ever come across any...
