Recoil operated, semi automatic, anti material sniper system.

Now that's overkill, and way cool.

I remember back in the '80's thinking about getting into the 50 cal game but thought, there is no way I am going to pay $1-2 dollars per shot. Ain't gonna happen. Now it costs that to shoot most big game calibers.

Last time I shot one, we got the friends and family discount at $3/rd @cost. Normal rental price was $5/rd and that was several years ago.



I bought a mag for a friend and thought he shot 4 rounds of the 10 and figured out he only shot 3 when the bolt didn't lock back after 6.

Double-up your ear pro dummy! It's only cumulative and permanent. You don't want what Kevin's got....

Been there, done that...
That's how I got vertigo.

Someone else’s gun and ammo. My favorite kind!

50 rounds of that silliness is about guaranteed to detach a retina or two. I have enough time behind a fifty that one round seemed like plenty that day.

shot a few prairie dogs with one several years ago. A friend of mine took his turn and missed, shot low, and that prairie dog launched higher then any I've ever seen before or since. Killed it without even hitting it.

Accuracy International and TBAC.

Sounds like a suppressed 308 and doesn't beat the shit out of you like my old AAC Cyclops did.

I fired 3 rounds from an AR-50 once, on the first day I went to Ben Lomond Gun Club as a new member. Hit the steel target at 600 yards all 3 times, it was so cool! I hadn't really fired real rifles much at all, other than my .22, so I was amazed that I hit the target.

Then I fired a short belt through an M2HB at an MG shoot in Cheyenne Wells, that was a thrill! This is a frame from a video I took that same day of someone else on a different M2HB, I think this is a cool photo.....

My grandson firing the same M2 I fired, he's 28 now, in the Navy for 5 years, married w/2 stepsons and a baby on the way, a homeowner in Norman, OK, and considering re-enlisting. Real proud of him....

One of the biggest, baddest, machineguns of all time, yet SO easy to shoot! It was amazing - a bucket list item for sure.
