BTW, for all the kool $n1p3rz behind enemy lines, better pack a lot of ammo for that over-priced walking stick ’cause habib ain’t got no .338 laupa under his turban.

The rifle is lighter as is the ammo and in my mind at least it is a better anti-personnel platofrm than the 50 BMG. I looked at both ballitically and only reason I might still get a 50 BMG instead of a 338 LM is the coolness factor.

For anti-material work the 50 BMG wins out.

Nice gun. Very nice gun, in fact. If I had the coin, I’d buy one as an alternative to the mighty Barrett. Good to 1200 yards with accuracy and practice. Just can’t afford to feed it. Like the .50, I’d be on the line feeding rounds counting, “$2, $4, $6, $8…new car”.

At least this way I won’t be drooling on the stock.

Yeah no kidding. Fools.

That would be the .408 Chey Tac!

The VPC noted how the IRA used .50 BMG to kill British soldiers. They apparently used them at the startling distance of… 300 meters.

“Training an infantryman to become a sniper can take up to a year, and only the most talented soldiers are allowed even to start the demanding courses.

First a candidate must master the technical aspects of shooting, learning to judge the strength of the wind extremely accurately using a variety of clues, and to adjust aim accordingly.

Just as importantly a sniper must learn to track his prey, move into position with extreme stealth, camouflage himself perfectly whether in natural cover or a battle-scarred city, and then disappear just as stealthily.”

A gun without a man is just a worthless piece of iron.

Ignorance is the VPC / Brady Bunch’s greatest (and only) tool.
