OK, fine but the issue was 12.7 mm rounds not something with 8 times the penetrative ability

As Marcello said it was just an example of "could happen" given optimal conditions and lots of ammo.
I suppose you could do the same with 12.7mm AP rounds - eventually. Assume each round puts a 1mm divot in a tanks armor you could drill thru with a few hundred/thousand rounds!
Of course there are always folks fail to see the difference between possible and practical
