I've never had the chance to shoot a .50

How is the recoil on that in a gas system gun compare to something like a .358 Wby Mag in a bolt action gun? That's the roughest I've ever shot.

I'm thinking "are you ever gonna pull the trigger" while the song goes "forever and ever"

Looks like fun.

Yeah that vid is on youtube. Insane muzzle pressures.

Gas operated rifles superior to bolt action rifles as far as managing recoil. The .50 BMG i shot was gas operated and has way less recoil then a .338 mag

That huge *** muzzle brake on the end helps out a good bit too. I shot a 7mm mag with a small one on the end and it kicked like a .22.

what gun was it? I almost picked up a barret modle 99 in October. it was only $3300 and included 300 rounds of ammo. I am kicking myself for passing that up.

MK19 'nuff said

M2 is definitely a bad-*** weapon, and is the oldest sniper weapon in the US Arsenal due to the fact that its fully auto or Single shot... even better with a TVS-5 on top.... "mmmmm, thats nice"-old man from family guy

That looks fun as hell. The only .50 cal ive shot is in COD4! +1 For the lefty's, its always fun shooting a right handed gun when the hot *** shell flies onto your body.
