I believe that anything larger than a .50 BMG (non-black powder) must be registered with the ATF as a destructive device.

Only if it has rifling in the barrel. That leaves a neat loophole! (High performance SABOT ammo in a 12 gauge for instance.)

You are correct. The bigger-than-fifty number was selected with the old British .55 caliber Boys AntiTank rifle in mind.
