Well there you have it, 50 caliber weapons are meant to destroy material like cars and armor. I don't even think the thickest book in the world would stop a bullet. Sad to hear this happen, but stupid people are going to do stupid things.

Yeah, I wouldn't even consider the idea that a book would stop a 50 caliber bullet from a foot out.

Apparently he shot a different book and it didn't go through. So, she must have used a different gun, distance/angle, ammo or just a thinner book. Either way, stupid people.

One less idiot. Too bad those kids won't have a father though.

I've shot a .50 cal DE before. The kickback is something I can't even describe. I have to wonder if she even hit the book. Not saying that matters but I can't imagine someone her size handling that beast.

*Story sharing time*

A few years ago, I shot 5 round through a Barrett .50 cal at an annual training. By the 3rd round, I wanted to say **** it and walk away from the gun. I thought it would be awesome and fun but nope. It destroyed every single one of my senses. It kicked like a mule and it throw up sand, rocks and dust. Literally 15 minutes later, I put 20 shells through a 12 gauge shot gun and it felt like a .22 compared to the Barrett.
 
I shot my great-great grandfather's .54 musket that he carried in the Civil War. Damn thing is about 9 feet long and it weighs about 572 pounds, mostly in the barrel. Seriously, though, I know guns and knew what a kick it was going to give me - especially since there's no recoil pad, just a steel plate on the butt - and I still felt like I got hit with a truck. Good thing it took a long time to reload those things!!!!
