What were they firing? AP is not going to
disintegrate. Don't base your ballistics
knowledge on Mythbusters. They're NOT very expert
on Ballistics.
One thing to contemplate is that at range you're
going to have some downward arc on the rounds. If
they impact at the waterline on a boat, what
distance below the water line are they going to
then pass through?

Everything Above, and below as it's going to keep
on going barring something REALLY solid like an
engine block and that's not going to like acting
as a stop for .50.
