Kind of interesting. We had 2 separate incidents a couple weeks apart where a .50cal round exploded while one of our ammo guys was loading our acft (one in Kuwait and one in Iraq). Supposedly something hit the primer and caused the round to explode. There were no major injuries...certainly none like this, but those rounds are no joke.

The .50 BMG packs quite a punch in comparison to the other rounds in common use.
