Hmmmmmm A .50BMG is a pretty loud boom for those not expecting it and not wearing ear protection. But "shake a building?" I don't.....think so. I think I'm back to the transformer; or a Flash Bang or possibly a really big firecracker lime one of those M100's or maybe some ex-army wag that still has a grennade simulator in his possession. That's about a half stick of dynamite....all bang no shrapnel. L-O-U-D doesn't quite describe it....lol

I'd have to agree. A shake would require multidirectional shockwaves. Even if your .50 BMG was aimed at the building, it doesn't have the mass/energy to shake the building.

I'd bet on a transformer, or something resonating inside a dumpster, maybe.
