I was at the range one day in the plinking bay and one dude brought out his Barrett. They set up a carved pumpkin about 25 yards away, put a little bit of gas in it, and shot it with an API round. Maybe not the smartest thing to do as I could feel the heat from how far away I was (about 40 yards as I was a bit off to the side) but it was cool as fuck

Shockwaves have an extremely difficult time transferring between air and liquid, but that's all i know on that subject. Similar pressures in water could potentially have a devastating effect though

I’m not mad at that. But nothing beats the Tacoma/Hilux, except maybe custom built Baja 500 style tricks
