AR 15 .50 Beowulf was designed to improve stopping power greatly at short- to medium-range as compared to the standard 5.56×45mm NATO round. One of its advertised uses is at vehicle checkpoints, since the heavy bullet’s flight path is not easily deflected by auto glass or standard vehicle body panels. This configuration is best described as a low-velocity, heavy caliber with great stopping power and in the short proximity will kill a buffalo size animal. It’s becoming very popular for use in a wide variety of North American game, including deer, moose, and black bear for a simple reason – the shooter does not create a situation where he has to chase after a wounded animal because .50 Beowulf has enough stopping power to kill most of North America’s game animals on impact.
