Dude. Be sure you read the safety recommendations, especially the part about detached retinas.

I'm wondering where it will stop. I've read that some companies are working on a 25mm rifle, similar to the Bushmaster round in the Bradley. Astounding. At the same time, one of those rounds into a $900,000 jet engine trashes the engine and turns a $40,000,000 fighter into a big paperweight for few days. The economics of the thing are indisputable.
how so? are you telling me you are going to shoot the engine out of a jet while trying to man handle a rifle that probably weighs more than you? [:o)]
Is each round considered a destructive device?
Only the explosive rounds are DD
The "blue tips" are target practice rounds

Don't know the exact weight of the 20mm, but even the Barrett--which weighs about 50 pounds--is man portable and a couple rounds from that will render a jet engine useless. In the first Iraq war a team of Army snipers disabled an Iraqi radar unit with two rounds from a Barrett. I've read that the average airstrike costs about $300,000, so $10 for two rounds is a bargain indeed.
