    A 50ae from a desert eagle doesn’t get anywhere close to that of a 50bmg. It’s about 15% of the energy, if even, which is about the same as typical infantry rifles.

    Caliber is probably is among the worst metrics for determining energy honestly

      Came here to say this.

      .50 AE and .50 BMG are worlds apart. Hell, even the difference between .45 ACP and .45-70 is pretty big.
