Sure, if it hit another vital part of your body. If it hits another object six inches from your head, it will depend on what is the object, and what kind of projectile was used: "Mk211, Spotter, Silver tip (Armor Piercing Incendiary), Blue tip (Incendiary), Black tip (Armor Piercing), SLAP-T, SLAP, Tracer, and Ball."

above the head knocks off a halo... below the head leaves a decent size hole in chest that will almost surely kill you. to the left you get hit with the ricochet and it kills the person who fired and to the right it kills bill

Certainly a miss will not cause injury by impact. I've never heard of an injury caused by a miss other than, perhaps, injury to hearing. Assume we're talking about a clean miss, no ricochet, no physical contact at all.

that would ultimatly depend on how far away this happens, because I have shot at game at 3 feet with a .338 winchester mag and the animal blinked, and I did not witness any signs of stress. now .50 cal is a bit bigger in bullet but twice as big with casing but I would suspect that would depend on how far away the shot is
-
No it will not kill, what will happen is there will be a pressure drop in atomosperic pressure so at best you might get an pressure drop in a eardrum but nothing more , I have shot right by the ear in a sheep with a 7mm rem mag from 20 feet and the only thing that happened was the sheep took off.

If your head is very close to the object the bullet hits, yes, I believe you could die. There would be an explosion of material, and it would be very unpredictable. If you are not standing next to the impact, no, that would not happen.

It is a myth that the .50 BMG round (bullet) will kill you merely by overpressure. The amount of air pressure created by the round as it travels is very little do to the shape of the round being designed for penetration and low drag: the air slips around the round as it travels and lowers the disturbance it creates as it travels. Most modern rounds are "boat-tailed", meaning the ends of the round (the part usually hidden by the brass casing) curve slightly back towards each other. This helps to reduce drag on the round and increase stability. The lower the drag, the less air is disturbed by the round as it travels, the faster and longer the round can move.

The sonic shock wave made by the bullet while audible doesn't generate enough force to cause any damage. 50 cal rounds punch ragged little half inch holes in paper targets without disturbing the surrounding area. Now, when a paper target is fixed onto a hard surface, a large area of the paper is destroyed by surface and bullet fragments flying from the impact point.

You might have a heart attack from the fear caused by such a deadly threat. That could kill you, but a miss by six inches is as good as a mile.
-
No. It pretty much has to hit your head to kill you. This guy's real lucky that his Barrett didn't kill him, real lucky.
-
No but you will suffer from respiratory diseases.
-
If it hits six inches below your head, I'd imagine it could. That would pretty much put it in your lungs or your aorta.
