Cause I got some real big squirrels and other varmints in my back yard that I gotta kill, and this is no f*ing business of the government, that's why.

"Carlos Hathcock nailed a gooner a 2500 yd. Clean Kill from hill 55"
He did that with a scope mounted M2, right? Or did he have one of the earliest .50 cal rifles?
One more question please, assuming it was with a M2, was this from his lair in the bush or was he on a firebase? It's hard to imagine humping an M2 in the bush.

Yep! A whole battalion of 'em!

It was a scoped M2 and he fired from a firebase.
Took a VC off a bicycle if I remember correctly.
Hell of a shot.

Why is there a vintage .69 caliber Model 1777 Charleville flintlock musket hanging on my wall?
Why did they also make and use massive caliber handguns over 225 years ago?
Oh those French arms dealers again!

Because it's a lot more fun than firecrackers?
If I had the frivolous spare cash, I'd have one. Bet ya can go to the local gravel pit and bust some big rocks in two with a .50.
Ya dumb politicians, it's called....FUN!
The fact that the .50 bothers politicians makes me know it's a good thing. :)

Yeah, but why do people NEED a .50 cal If the muzzle blast downrange of a .50AE is anything like the muzzle blast behind the pistol, I'd think the blast would incapacitate a lot of attackers even if the bullet missed them completely. I don't believe a blank-firing gun could be made that loud.
