#1 Holy Caliber Batman... 16 mm rifle ammo! That's one heck of a rifle.

#2 Sixteen millimeters is about 5/8 inch - larger than .50 caliber (about .63). I don't know any weapon beyond a machine gun or sniper rifle that uses a cartridge that large.

I'd also suspect the shocks on that vehicle are totally shot! That's over a ton of ammo.
