The campaign against the Big Fifty continues. The anti-gun writer makes the ridiculous assertion that a single bullet from a .50 BMG can knock a railcar off the tracks. How much research do you suppose that ignorant twit did before writing her hit piece on Barrett rifles?

Anti-gun journalists write for their audience. This will be absorbed as gospel by those whack jobs who have been heretofore unphased by their infrequent confrontations with reality. Intelligence has its limits, but ignorance is infinite.

When asked what happens when a .50 hits one of his tanks, he said with a shrug, “It bounces off.” I guess. I recall the Alaska pipeline looking pretty beefy.
I seem to recall at least one instance of someone punching it with a 460 Weatherby mag or something.
My cousin had some .30-06 armor piercing ammo. Well, that’s what he claimed. Had the black tips on them. Anyhoo, he claimed they’d eat up 3/8 plate. Never tried it though. I think I’ll let someone else blast away at steel plate while I’m doing something elsewhere.

This is not the work of a journalist; it is the work of a typist. I like that line, I'll have to remember it.

Journalism is a venerable and timehonored profession, steeped in tradition and burdened with the singular responsibility to tell the truth.

"She begins with the bold assertion that soldiers can shoot rifle bullets through tank armor from a mile away."
Not on any tank built since about 1935. Ma Deuce (.50 cal heavy machine gun) was the second antitank gun in the Army's inventory, thus the name. Most the rest of her assertions are either similarly out of date, or only theoretically possible.

Virginia politician Jim Moran, who stated that the rifle could knock a railcar off its tracks. What scale?
