I've seen regular truck tires repel a .30cal round

it doesn't seem so rediculous to me for it to withstand a .50 round

i'm not saying it will bounce off

but

i bet it takes the round without the tire exploding

One of the Tucker sedans is now in the Henry Ford automotive museum in Dearborn. That's insult to injury!

His cars also employed (gasp) seat belts! The big three didn't like seat belts or safety glass because selling safety features implied that cars were dangerous.

I don't know much about armament, but I suspect that a .50 from that era is a bit different from a .50 now, as far as how 'hot' the round is.

I don't think the M2 has changed much since 1919 except a quick change barrel and some accessories( Flash suppressors and various mounts)

as for the rounds i dunno, there sure are a lot of different ones (10-20 maybe)

Tracers
Ball
Armor Piercing
Incendiary
Sabot
Combinations of the above

So I'd imagine it would matter what it got hit with more so than the charge of the round

Do we have any armorers on the board?
