The .50 is sure fun to fire. I liked to fire it on the ground mount - talk about rockin' and rollin'!

Back in the post-Vietnam Army I had my armorer take out the ground mounted .50 cal for some familiarization fire. I found out just too late the guy didn't have a clue you had to set the head space and timing and apparently had never been taught the skill. So, not even the M-2 is completely soldier proof.
