My 2 cents
> Does the 50bmg have the power to turn a man into "red mist"
----- Most likely not
> Does it have the power to remove large chunks or nearly tear a man sized target in half
----- Definetly Yes
> Does a bullet exist that has the right terminal performance to actually do the above
----- Possibly (a light for caliber, high veloctiy, fast expanding bullet would be ideal)
> Best chance of seeing it happen
----- A shot that immediately impacts a large bone and continues on a path that travels through a significant amount of additional bone/tissue. As opposed to a "in the front, out the back" type of shot that hits no bones or only a rib.
