A .50 BMG sure as heck could, and has.

Raufoss Mk211 .50 BMG projectile

Somewhere in the archives here on FR there's an account of the invasion of Iraq where a sniper using an M82A1 rifle vaporized an Iraqi forward observer atop a water tower with a Raufoss round.

I wasn’t thinking about explosive rounds, since I can’t get those. I have shot a Texas (i.e. small) deer with my Barrett just to see... wasn’t pretty, but didn’t do anything like that. And yes, most of the meat was fine. Chest cavity was a mess tho’.

An internet gun porn fantasy. A Mk 211 projectile contains less than a gram of explosive. The purpose is to spread fragments inside equipment targets to destroy electronics, cut hoses, kill crew, ignite fuel, etc. But it will not vaporize anyone.
