The .50 BMG (12.7×99mm) is a cartridge developed for .50 caliber machine guns in the late 1910s, entering official service in 1921.
A common method for understanding the actual power of a cartridge is comparison of muzzle energies. The .30-06, the standard caliber for American soldiers in both World Wars and a popular caliber amongst American hunters, can produce muzzle energies between 2,000 and 3,000 foot-pounds force (3,000 and 4,000 J). The .50 BMG round can produce between 10,000 and 15,000 foot-pounds force (14,000 and 20,000 J), depending on its powder and bullet type, and as well as the weapon it is fired from.
These rounds can not be crafted. They can be found in military locations around the map in random stack sizes.
The .50 BMG bullet can only be used with the M82A1.
The rounds can be chambered individually, or used with the 
M82A1 Magazine.
