When I went on that trip I was a whole lot younger and about 75 lbs lighter than I am now. Experience and weight make a difference. Your experience with a .50 BMG reminds me of a Vietnam story where one of our squad leaders held a Ma Duece in his hands had it on single shot and pressed the butterfly. Wow, he dropped it like a hot potato. Nothing to absorb recoil except his arms.

Ma Duce ???? Did this guy ever get smart enough to get home alive ?
