4. Rounds are around $5. BMG rounds are worth more.

The .50 round was designed as an armour peircing round. Now adays, snipers in the feild carry a variety of rounds for them based on the task at hand. The rifle is designed as a people killer.

A muzzel brake generally works, otherwise it flies off the barrel.

The fuel tanks are one of the last targets on an enemy aircraft. First target is always the cockpit. A fuel tank is easily repaired, electronics ect arent.

Maybe you are thinking more of the M2s ect that are mounted on APC's ect, but the .50 LRSR is a work of art and a fantastic tool.

Anyway, my fav and I was lucky enough to have owned one is the Rem 700 chambered for .300 WSM

I was thinking of the non-bullpup version of a barrett.

Do you know how many different manufacturers of .50 LRSR there are?

Accuracy International is a prime at the moment. Tikka have started specialising in it (and are pretty good) and there are home made versions about as well.

I see where you were coming from so no offense ment before, but you cannot lump all .50's into the same bucket when each is clearly more different than the other. Its like comparing an M113 to an M1A1

Hard to beat a grapefruit sized lump of Uranium 238 surrounded by H2O2 though. That's a party the neighbours will never forget

NOW you are talking!
That would be my pick too, no better combination than sword and shield with decent armour, bring on the scrap!
modern weapons are for pussies anyway.

A fair is a social gathering. Nothing social about war.

Give me total overkill anyday.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank you very much for your kind offer but at this point in time I would prefer to decline such.

Not for fear of your mother though I do get the impression that she would be a fearsome deterent for anyone who would in your parlance "fuck with her little boy"

So in reiteration

Thanks but no thanks.

Mr Merde

Trust me, it isn't fair when I have a sword and shield, or virtually any other medieval weapon.
I truly believe that if you cannot do it up close and personal, then you shouldn't do it at all. Never mind this bombing and shelling into oblivion stuff, get in there and make it personal.
Not only is this a great solution to 'religious and political wars' but the re-occurrence rate goes down real fast.
for example, "you have offended my god and must pay", "ok you come on down here and give it your best shot, here is your sword and shield, is there anywhere special you would like your remains sent to?".
"You have caused a grave insult to my country, I will declare a war", "ok but you must first come and do battle yourself against me".
errrm, I will get back to you shortly.
