You might want to think twice about that, the round produces a back blast area of about 50 ft and generates temperatures in the 1400 degree range. Not only will it blow your clothes off it will cook your keister in the process.

I’d be happy to settle for an M2 .50 on a turret.

And in training you’re supposed to announce “back blast area clear”, not “black blast area clear” as I did, to hoots of laughter from my black drill sergeant....
