anti-material rifles are ment to shoot through armor. they should one shot a car. they can shoot a man on the other side of the engine block. they are commonly used to shoot an aircraft parked on a runway and destroy engines, controls, and fuel tanks so it cant fly. and speaking of aircraft (former aircraft mechanic in the navy here) one shot to the upper fuselage would likely hit and destroy the gearbox or shafts for the roater, one or both turbines, who knows how much of the hydraulic systems(most military craft have 2 or more) tail rotor shaft, flight control rigging, or electronics. a belly shot hits rigging, tail rotor shaft, electronics, fuel, and up through the floor of the cockpit. tail shot screws up the tail rotor and it should spiral out of the sky. nose shot kills the pilots, electronics, and flight controls. they dont beleive in wasted space. so most shots on most birds will be severly damaging with a .50cal. all in all, I think the biggest problem with shooting a helo would be movement. would take a long time for that round to actualy impact so you have to put the right lead on your target. that may be part of that 4 clips. but still, I agree that 1-3 direct hits should kill a helo EASY.. what little armor they DO have is very light. I cold tell you horror stories about the damage that just the engine vibrations can do to an aircraft.. let along if you accidently hit a bird in flight. heck, a drone is enough to kill the main rotor. (tip. dont launch your drone while riding in a friend's H-60) you cant honestly tell me that a big 50 is weaker then a single drone... hmmm.. that said. I want video of someone flying a drone into the rotor of an enemy helo to kill it!
