Could you please explain to me what this is and what it's used for? I'm not sure about it's exact specs but I know you came to the right place for an answer. I do know it's a big gun, has a long range, and is designed to shoot things.

It usually is a bolt action weapon, i.e., Grizzly, modeled after the early British WW2 anti-tank gun. Shoots an actual .50cal sized round but has an excellent buffer group in the stock to absorb the recoil. Max effective range is roughly 2000 yds. Max range for a .50cal slug can range up to 7000 yards! NOT a light weapon to be carrying around.

I was going to give my definition but #6 covered it perfectly.

BMG = Browning Machine Gun. That's the round that it uses. Typically when someone is talking about a ".50 BMG", it's a rifle like one of these:

They're used by military snipers and people who just like to see how far away they get an accurate hit on a target.

Just a rifle. Used for projecting jacketed lead slugs at targets from a distance, with rifle-like accuracy. Fifty caliber means approximately one-half inch bore diameter.

It is used to remove heads at a VERY long distance. Basically, you can hit a human with that thing at over a thousand yards anywhere on their body and the head (as well as the rest of the body) turns into tiny pieces....very effective against terrorist hiding behind walls at a thousand yards :)

Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock nailed a VC tax collector in VN with a .50cal with a scope at over 3,000 yards! Just under a 3 mile shot.

Oh, wait -- you probably wanted accurate information. Sorry.

These rifles are big,heavy and expensive. They are expensive to shoot----about 1.75 per cartridge. There are sporting clubs and groups where these are shot in competition. Out west mostly------long range shooting.
