I need the ammo
Please Mr.Q stop with the options. Or I will have to go on that 12g program.
No wait I got two of those, must be the 12 step program they keep talking about.
O screw it no one likes a quitter. And who wants to collect tokens if there is only 12.
Now guns on the other hand,some smart guy is always coming up with more options.
Now where did the wife put my credit card?
Baby steps, Mr Q., Baby steps.
First we start with a 14.5mm upper, built from surplus KPV barrels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KPV_heavy_machine_gun)
Now we just have to lean on Chris a bit to bring in a container full of cheap 14.5x114 ammo!
But, yeah, I'm up for a 20mm too...
NOoo...stop!!! I haven't even gotten a .50cal out & you're teasing me with 14.5mm? Noo. Does anyone even make a Boxer-primed brass case for them or are we stuck fooling with Euro or Asian steel cases? Bullets? I know CH4D makes dies, but where do we get components....and 20mm.....stop....breath...focus on .50cal....one major purchase at a time....
I've always wondered how much better accuracy you could squeeze out of 14.5mm than old PTRD's were capable of.....you guys are just cruel makinge go down this path.....thanks.

Hmmmmmm 14.5 or 20mm upper on aluminum AR lower. I will watch TooTall shoot it from a distance but not with my lower.

No problem.
Polymer lowers!
Cheap enough to be a consumable item.
I will let your misses know to increase the insurance policy.

Many thanks for the 50 Mr Q. I'd love to own a 20mm but I think sourcing the ammo would be too hard. And reload? Hell it's hard enough to source powder to fill a 7.62x51 let alone a 20x102!

A .416 Barrett might be interesting??
Aside from the higher velocity some ranges are not patterned for 50bmg.

Misses? I never miss. Or do you mean Mrs. ?
Hey, that reminds me of a conversation I had with the owner of a Lahti L39 anti tank rifle, in 20x138B (Belted)
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS7ss47xmik Starting at 45 sec mark. )
He said he bought a 100lb drum of surplus 20x102mm Vulcan powder, and was quite pleased with his good supply.
Then he said each round uses about 700 grains of powder.
I did the math in my head and replied "So about 1000 shots worth."
"No, a way more than that!" he said.
So I said that a lb is 7000 gr, so 10 shots per lb, times 100 lb equals 1000 shots.
"Damn! I should have bought more powder!"

Holy Hanna I like to dream expensive!
