Keep in mind for the 50 cal...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_BMG

"The M2 would, however, go on to function as an anti-armour machine gun, and decades later, be used in high-powered rifles..... During World War II it found its usage in penetrating lightly armoured vehicles, including aircraft."

I agree that a 9mm ain't that impressive. One shot at that. But seven rounds of 50....

That's just crazy. I would not want to try stopping just one round of 50 with today's body armor.... wouldn't that be suicide?
