Armalite AR-50 .50 BMG vs. Hard Drives

I saw this over at Snowflakes in Hell. An armor piercing incendiary .50 BMG round is fired from an Armalite AR-50 rifle at 18 hard drives.

The round passes through 16 and it embedded in the 17th.

Custom .50 BMG rifle confiscated from Mexican gang

This interesting .50 BMG rifle was discovered on a raid by Mexican police and army:

My take on the rifle is that it is a McMillian TAC-50 action with an AR-50 barrel and muzzlebreak and a homemade unfinished (no recoil pad) stock.
