Continuing from this thread, because it was apparently forgotten the past 2 months.
Now for the main consensus, there are some notable problems with this calc. One, we're using the stacked penetration calc to scale to everyone's Durability and Attack Potency; which we do not use. There was a general calc for someone being immune to bullets calc'd at 8-B, but it wasn't usable; otherwise Terminator and Robocop would have been 8-B a long time ago.
Now as for the calc itself, the calculated energy is only 3444000 Joules or 3.444 Megajoules, which is only 9-B. Using a Wall level calc to get City Block level durability ratings is for lack of better words, fallacious. Furthermore, WeeklyBattles mentioned them consistently getting harmed or even killed by various 9-B to 9-A stuff.
For the other 8-B feat, that one might be a bit more legit. But even then, there appears to be other notable flaws with it. Based on the visuals seen here, it looks as if it could be a chain reaction. Even very basic explosives can cause giant avalanches, or even a kid throwing a snowball has caused an avalanche before. That doesn't mean the smaller explosives or the kid's snowball scaled from it. Fragmentatising small portions of followed by the higher up parts naturally collapsing is a very common thing.
There were also mentions of people actually not legitimately capable of tanking those same explosives in the same thread regardless of whether or not the calc is legit though. But, I digress.
Conclusion
The Magnum calc only peaks at 9-B, though I here there were other calcs that were 9-B to 9-A. And the grenades as mentioned above are either not really 8-B or no one actually scales from it. So with that, we may need to downgrade the cast like what was suggested previously.
