"and the concussion alone from a round that passes within a close enough distance can kill."
That true?

I don't think the .50 cal can produce a severe enough concussion to kill a rabbit let alone a human being. While in the Corps I heard an urban legend that the overpressure caused by a tank or artillery round zipping a few feet over a person's head could kill them. I think this comes from the way airburst weapons operate. I don't think a projectile displaces air fast enough for it to damage a person.
