Weapons using this ammunition

 * Anti-materiel rifle

.50 MG, armor piercing
Armor-piercing rounds are designed for punching through armor plating; for this purpose, they have a greatly strengthened case with a specially hardened and shaped nose. Due to the high muzzle velocity and penetrative properties of the round, damage to the target is slightly reduced. These bullets are best used against creatures with high Damage Threshold, such as deathclaws and giant radscorpions.

.50 MG, match (hand load)
Custom-made with a Reloading Bench, Requires (1) .50 MG Case, (1) .50 MG Primer, (25) Rifle Powder and (75) Lead, 100 Repair skill, and the Hand Loader perk to make. Match rounds are high quality rounds that fly farther and straighter than regular rounds. Match rounds will always be more effective than AP if weapon damage is more than 75. When the Anti-materiel rifle is utilizing this round it has the lowest spread of any weapon in the game other than the Alien blaster.

.50 MG, incendiary
Incendiary rounds are designed for igniting targets and are usually used for equipment disposal at extreme ranges. They effectively replace Hollow points for .50 MG weapons as they are more effective on un-armored or lightly armored targets due to the added incendiary effect. .50 MG Incendiary rounds are the most expensive round available in the game and the damage over time is affected by the Pyromaniac perk, however due to the pricing these munitions must be used with discretion.
