Default RE: 50 BMG

First off who cares what he was shooting with it(even though it sounds a little wild to be shooting that much with one) as long as its legal use it.Its no different then using a .22-250 for deer.I was in the 75th rangers and shot the .50 bmg many times.There is no law aginst shooting humans with it that I know of.We trained for along time on how to use it efficient aginst hard and soft targets.That full metal jacket bullet wont damage any more meat then a 30-06 with a soft lead bullet.Sure it will take out a light armored vehicle but it is still a great sniper round as well.Be carful with that rifle it will shoot alot farther then you can see and go through the neighbor's truck at the same time.I have had one for along time and I can tell ya it is very expensive to shoot if you have to buy the rounds.Mine is a single shot and it weights 32lbs I am sure I dont want to carry it any more had enough of the in the service.
