I doubt that anyone at NYT (certainly no one with any self-respect would work there) can imagine a "practical purpose" or anything "useful" about super destructive war weaponry, whether designed to pierce concrete bunkers and armored personnel carriers, to reach out and touch someone at 1,000-plus meters, or to support stereotypical cis-gender hyper-macho Nerf fantasies.

And if you shoot 9k rounds of .50 BMG . . .

Even if you divide it up over a couple of days? Note: double hearing protection recommended whether shooting 9k rounds or only a fraction of that per day.
