Nope. Even with an AP or API round, most of it would not penetrate steel.NRA Certified Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun and Metallic Cartridge Reloading Instructor

Wih out even clicking the link I know its the idiot shooting the barret 50 from the title and first 2 replies... From other posts apparently its only 100 to 200 yards away and they had it against a hard surface facing right back at them...
This is why idiots shouldn't buy steel or 50s... Dangerous enough with a 22...
But no it shouldn't... The ones they show in TV are rounds with explosives on the tip to creat a hole and soften the metal for the bullet to pass through.. They were probably using the FMJ like everyone else does because that rounds so dam expensiveComment

It depends on
1) bullet construction
2) target construction
3) background
I would not want to get hit with a subsonic 600-700 grain projectile
When a .38 or 9mm use 3-5 grains of powder and the 50 uses 205-225 grains- you end up with a lot of momentum
That was one lucky personRule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)
Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT
