Can An M2 .50 Caliber Really Stop A Running Truck Engine Dead Cold?

Way back when I was in the US Army we were taught that an M2 .50 caliber machine gun could stop a car, truck, or jeep with a single shot to its engine block.

However, no one in at least my platoon ever got a chance to test this theory out in real life.

BUT, thankfully on this Thanksgiving the dudes on this video actually take the risk of killing a (nearly) perfectly good up and running engine by shooting it with a single shot from a .50 cal.

The Fullmag team sure know how to put together a very good-looking and intriguing video.
