50 BMG's for wussies

LOL! I had to take a double take, at first glance at aournd 1:10 I saw the rifle and what looked to be a black lab shooting it....guys skin blends well into the surroundings. Maybe I'm just going blind though, but found it funny.

Me too, and I'm only 26, so don't feel bad.

I like the super cheery music that they edited into it. It almost makes it seems like you should be happy to be shot with the "Anti-material" weapon.

Every gun ever made has been "Anti-material".
 
If any of you are video game geeks (like me) you may have noticed that this is the rifle used to model the sniper rife in the games Halo CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3.

And yes, it is South African. Made by Mechem.

I wants one!
 
A friend of mine and I are reactivating a 20mm Laudi which takes shells about twice the length of the ones in that video. It should be interesting to shoot. I hope to have it up and running this summer.
 
Nice

O.k. so its not just me I was thinking that's damn fine shooting for a black lab. mine never could do that.

The recoil would be easily managable. I have a 50 BMG now (by the way precision home reloads run about $4.70 not $10) and while i was in Kentucky last time i was looking at a bolt action rifle there, it was a 20mm single shot with a bi pod on front and mono pod on back. I asked him about the recoil thinking it would be punishing but explained that it would be less than my fifty because the gun weighed in at 125 lbs for the lighter model while mine was only 34 lbs.
It was listed as Non restricted but getting the ammo could pose a problem as well as finding a range someone would let you shoot it on , laff.

The way its built/ assembled and the muzzle brake remind me of my buddy's Steyr hs 50, same brake and same sort of assembly and dis assembly.
