    Local range is rated for everything up to and including .50BMG at all outdoor ranges, including the 25 yard ones :P

    I would ask non-refundable preorders on those short barrels .50. It'll make a lot of noise and a big flash, but they won't exactly be precision rifles, and they'll still be quite heavy to carry. I think you'll be stuck with anything not accounted for when production is started.

    Barrett makes the M82A1 in a 20" bbl... But hey, what do they know?

    20" bbl would be cool.

    Yeah, but that's for SF guys when they have to jump out of an airplane. They're sacrificing capability for portability. I don't really see the point in getting anything under 26", (especially 12" !), but to each their own...

    I'll gladly pay in full up front for a 12.5"

    I agree. It would be pretty much useless from a capability of the cartridge standpoint. I just want something that is going to make a huge blast and throw a big ol' flame out the business end. It would be worth it just for the novelty of something so ridiculous.

    Oh damn, well this just made my mind up I think. I think RN has a 16" that still functions decent enough. I'd say 16" maximum
    So it's actually worth having vs being able to do it yourself on one of the longer ones.

    There is merit to several barrel lengths and plenty to back it up in some research. ^ the RN 50's here now are 29.5 , that little 16' sure looks like a blast.

    18" seems kinda cool. I wouldn't trade mine for it but I would give it a whirl. Anything shorter kind of seems pointless.
