There is a new gun store here in Ohio. You know the GW state.
They have for $9,000.00 of course an in stock full size, Barrett .50 Caliber military spec rifle.
The owner is also in a few weeks getting the new smaller rifle (in overall size not caliber) Barrett .50
Didn't know of any store willing to sell it to the public.
Store is named One Shot.
When seen up close you want one.
Fantastic weapon, I've heard it isnt great for accuracy due to an enormous muzzle flash however. Hell of a range though!
No doubt the liberal belly achers will be saying every street thug will have one, however unrealistic that may be.
The best cure for such a desire is having to lug one ......
No problemo. Just put training wheels on the bipod.
Why not?
I don't know of a gun store that wouldn't, though I can think of only a couple that had one in stock at one time or another.

Explain to me again, why the hell anybody needs a 50 caliber rifle? Don't give that "It's my constitutional right" crap - I know that - tell me what you're gonna use it for. Hunting? If you need a 50 to down a deer, you shouldn't even be in the woods.
This is one strictly for bragging rights, right after who has the biggest tires on his pickup.
There are long range competitions. Custom 50BMG would come handy.
/sarcasm
It's also used for target shooting like the AR-15 and M1 Garand.
The only thing we brag about having the smallest one of: cell phones
Why are you of the opinion that I have to show a "need" for something in order to own it? Who are you to decide what I "need"? And who in the hell are you to demand authority over my life?
Maybe I just want one, ok? Maybe I like the idea of setting up chunks of steel and punching really big holes in them from a long ways away. Maybe I think it's fun.
The bottom line is that it's none of your damn business what I need, and it's none of your damn business what I want. It's my life. Live your own life, and stay out of mine!

And your problem is......?
Or should I say, "what the hell is your problem?"
I don't need 5 amateur radio transceivers.
I don't need my F-250 4x4.
And if I want to put godzilla size tires on my evil SUV (Ford Exploder)- that I don't really need- why should you be so bent about it?
Oh, almost forgot, I really only need one 12 gauge shotgun.
I own 4.
I think you need to go sit on the beach for awhile.
Have a couple of cool one's while you are there.
Sheesh.

How is 1 M.O.A. at 1000 yards? EDM
Black helicopters ... I thought everyone knew that.
If a 50 BMG seems too big to you, at what caliber/power factor would you feel comfortable for others to own?
What's wrong with that?
