Default Got to shoot a 50BMG

Yesterday we went blasting at a friends house like we normally do on weekends.
Out comes a Barrett .50BMG, After my first shot im hooked for life now. I gotta have one for some deer blasting this summer on the farm.

From the Horrific noise it made i was expecting some nasty recoil. I was scared to death until the concussion hit me. The recoil was tame and the blast was horrendous. Now i just have got to have one..

It was this baby:

It just goes BOOM and kicks up a absurdly amount of dust.

It only drops 351" at 1000 yards. but it has more energy at a 1000 than all normal rounds do at the muzzle... Yep, gotta get one!!!

That thing is still hauling the mail at 3K, but it sure does drop a lot between 800 and 1000. That heavy *** bullet is running out of steam...
