There's a reason why I've been told that using such weaponry on human targets

just plain human targets

is considered inhumane

Yeah, no kidding.

Just out of curiosity, how does it compare to the rounds an elephant gun would use?

...an elephant gun is just a colloquial term

you could kill an elephant with just a common .308 Winchester if you used proper shot placement

the .50 BMG would easily kill an elephant, yeah

It's used typically to take out light armored vehicles, aircraft, and to penetrate thick cover (read, commercial grade concrete)

soo....

also

while I'm at it

Azure linked to me a random picture of a large revolver

chambered in .460 S&W magnum

alright, so let's do a comparison to the .50 BMG in terms of energy output and velocity:

.460 S&W magnum- muzzle velocity ranges from about 1,500 feet per second to over 2,000 depending on grain and powder load.

Energy output in Joules is about... eh... ranging from low to high 2000's.


Compared to the .50 BMG:

I'd say an average 3,000 feet per second (variable depending on grain, powder, yadda yadda).

In energy...

nearing about 15,000 Joules at the tippy-top.


Gigantic difference. Both will kill you, but the latter won't just kill you, it'll basically mangle you.

oh and

ignore what fiction says about the .44 magnum or whatever big handgun cartridge being magically powerful enough to pop a head like a melon

bullshit

pretty much any military-grade rifle round will out perform them in penetration, stopping power, and lethality.

Yes. Games lie. Big surprise.

no clearly the average civilian ought to be allowed to tote such firepower used on light armor

yes because the obviously evil and obviously ambiguously gay

which is icky

and hence more evil

who is clearly the traitor in the family

can be made sympathetic
