A .50 caliber bullet is a large, robust round typically used in heavy machine guns and sniper rifles. It has a diameter of approximately 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) and is often characterized by its long, cylindrical shape and pointed tip. The cartridge itself is substantial, often weighing several ounces, and can be encased in a metallic shell with distinctive markings depending on the manufacturer. The bullet is usually brass or steel in color and may have a black or green tip, indicating armor-piercing capabilities in some variants.
