Product info of 50 Cal BMG – 660 Grn

The 50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) cartridge is a large caliber round that was first developed for use in machine guns during World War I. It is still used today in a variety of long-range rifles and machine guns, and is known for its incredible power and long-range capabilities. The 50 BMG is also known as the 12.7×99mm NATO, and is one of the most powerful commercial cartridges available.

One popular type of 50 BMG ammunition is the FMJ (full metal jacket) variant. The FMJ bullet is a solid, one-piece design that is coated in a layer of copper or other metal. This coating helps to protect the bullet from deformation and ensures consistent performance. The 50 BMG FMJ round typically has a muzzle velocity of around 2,800 feet per second (fps) and a muzzle energy of around 13,000 foot-pounds (ft-lbs). This makes it one of the most powerful commercial cartridges available, capable of reaching targets at extremely long ranges and delivering a significant amount of kinetic energy upon impact.

One of the most notable applications of the 50 BMG round is in long-range shooting. The round is known for its excellent ballistics and ability to maintain accuracy at extremely long ranges, making it a popular choice among long-range shooters and snipers. The 50 BMG round is also used in anti-materiel rifles, which are designed to take out enemy equipment such as vehicles and artillery. This round is also used in civilian long-range target shooting and hunting big game.

Another application of the 50 BMG round is in machine guns. The round was originally developed for use in machine guns and is still used today in a variety of machine gun platforms. The 50 BMG round is known for its excellent penetration and ability to deliver a significant amount of kinetic energy, making it effective against a variety of targets including light armored vehicles, fortifications, and aircraft.

One of the downsides of the 50 BMG round is its recoil, which can be significant. The round is also relatively expensive compared to other commercial cartridges, making it less accessible to some shooters.

In terms of terminal ballistics, the 50 BMG FMJ round is designed to provide maximum penetration, making it ideal for anti-materiel purposes. The round is capable of penetrating thick armor and other hard targets, making it highly effective against enemy equipment. However, this also means that the round may pass through targets and may not be suitable for hunting or self-defense.

In conclusion, the 50 BMG FMJ round is a powerful and versatile cartridge that is suitable for a variety of applications including long-range shooting, anti-materiel, and machine gun use.
