Just go buy the video Exploding Varmints.

I was thrown off by the first kill. I thought it might be a perp hit by a 50 BMG.

Thats some widely distributed video of some guy shooting mountain goats or something similar.



Then he's using a Barrett or some other 0.50Bmg on the goats.

No goat or any other animal larger than a rabbit ever popped like that.

You're exactly right - it's not a sniper video. It's rock chucks (whatever they are) being shot out West somewhere. I once tracked the original down to a hunter website where it was described for what it is.

Yeah, right!

Why would you use a 50 cal on a goat you wanted to eat.
Watch the first kill, you can see arms and legs flying.

They do if you watch the videos of terrorists being shot up with 20mm cannons.

Mythbusters weren't using 50s.

That web site has one other video of interest, it seems to be of an iraqi terrorist sniper picking off U.S. soldiers.

Revenge is sweet. They received better than our folks did on 9/11 when they were incinerated.
