"SHOT" Not even close. I don't call this getting "shot" with a .50 at all. A mere skimming is all this is. A minor scratch. Hit that blade broadside with that .50 cal slug, and you are gonna have nothing but scrap metal. Any G.I. 7.62 round will bury right through this thing. Heck I'd be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that a G.I. 5.56 round would pass right through. Let's see some "real" shots against that blade.
Close enough to graze it! I have seen the 5.56mm go through .25" steel plate at 100 yds, and you are probably right. The big .50 cal is a little cannon. The blade would have broken with a solid hit edge on or otherwise. But hitting it edge on isn't easy!
