The .50 cal sniper is :rockout:

I saw a youtube video of it in action. Needless to say-It doesn't leave much to bury. :lol:

the .50 cal scene in smoking aces is fucking awesome

[Cutty72]

I SOOOO want a .50 cal sniper rifle!!!

And those are the shit Gman!!

[NONE_too_SOFT]

what would you do with a .50 cal that you couldnt do with any other rifle? besides break your shoulder...


they are intended for long range sniping, not shooting paper targets 100 yards away.

I would shoot things thousands of yards away... duh.
Have you ever fired a 50 cal anything??
It's a rush in itself.
Being able to put that fire power on a pinpoint target is the ultimate.

israeli MI DE .50 ...

the M107 has less kick than most .308s. more motion, but less kick. also its intended to kill trucks and light armor vehicles. not people. the trigger is far too coarse for it to be a true sniper rifle. however theres quite a few very talented shots weilding them in country :pat: i just wish i'd gotten the opportunity to use mine on the last tour :idk:

True...
In fact they are not to be used on a human... equipment only.
Good thing that when shit hits the fan, a belt buckle is "equipment" :whistle:

from a mile away the bullet would have lost enough kinetic energy to penetrate armor, but not flesh.

but then again who's shooting at target sized people from a mile away.

Call of Duty 4: .50 cal all is left is a splatter on the wall.

Sweet game, way too short on single player.

You should let somebody shoot your car from far away and see what happens.

I was told the "Bear" .50 cal would penetrate 1/4" steel at a mile no problems

The fifty caliber's ability to be deployed by one individual and give that person the capability of discretely engaging a target at ranges of over one mile away are definitely alluring from a tactical standpoint. While the .50 cal sometimes seems to be exaggerated, it is hard to imagine a round that at ranges of over a mile and a half away, has more kinetic energy than a .44 Magnum, and has unbeatable penetration as well.

actually the recoil on them is not very bad, the mussel break on it absorbs about 60% of the recoil, and then the barrel actually moves about a quarter of an inch to absorb even more of the recoil, and then the buffer spring and a large pad on the butt absorb the rest......sooo its not that bad

but yea guys a tool for shooting at targets that close

i guess you have never heard of SLAP rounds eh?

yeah. but a mile is out of their effective range for even light armor.

any type of armor the army will come in contact with in iraq, though, i'd assume would be penetrable by the .50 cal.

[t-homo]

I just watched "Shooter" for the third time and he uses a .50 cal. Incredible movie if you haven't seen it.

probably correct, however one must remember that they are prettymuch all corrupt as fuck and we have been rebuilding their army with refurbished mtlbs and type 54/55 tanks (upgraded to the chinese type 69 standard) that one made me reeeeeeal nervous myself :willy:

[vabarber2]

50 Cal is the chit!! I personaly use the machine gun! Good for 2000 bullets out to 2000 meters!!!

Yeah, I get a little nervous everytime I see there tanks. They're getting all kinds of high speed chit just to make it harder next time.
