When I was in the Reserves I was on the 50bmg team. Ole Browning machine gun with heavy tripod and butterfly triggers. They only let us shoot 200 rounds a year but man was it fun. Full auto 1000 yards away into a tanker truck. MMMMMMMM so much fun.

Those things are a blast! But IIRC, at $5 a round, better bring your wallet, haha. And yeah, you definitely don't want to be standing on either side of it when someone fires, it'll knock you off your feet almost
