It is a single shot and not a 50.BMG, so it should be fine!

Does anyone know what a Taliban is?

Why would Westerners with American accents be hanging around Taliban?

That's a Northern Alliance soldier.

Thanks for the clarification, this video had been going around being labeled as Taliban, but someone else had also pointed out the western accents - I doubt it's Taliban based on that.

There's also a video of a man firing what appeared to be slugs out of a double barreled shotgun, which blows him back and flies back into a glass partition, causing it to crack. I am not sure exactly what the gun was, but the video was labeled as "iraqi sniper training" The guy looks to be Indian, and it looks like he's in a special effects studio. So, the people that come up with the names aren't always the smartest.

Yeah, he wasn't the only one either. But these look like northern alliance uniforms, and the people recording it are probably american soldiers or "security contractors" in charge of training them.

It looked like the guy that ran up (with the hat) slapped the guy before helping him.

I just thought this dude getting his @$$ kicked by the recoil was

Hmm, don't read the comments on this vid or any of the other ones of that matter. Lots of cussing and racism in there.

[imported_wallysparx]

maybe my sarcasm-meter is a bit off today or something, but isn't a recoilless rifle not supposed to have recoil?

That's a .577 Tyrannosaurus. The videos originally came from http://www.accuratereloading.com/videos.html, but now you have to be a forum member to view them, and those links are all dead. There's a bit of description there, though.

They also calculated a "recoil factor" for comparing a variety of rounds - http://www.accuratereloading.com/recoil.html - and the .577 TRex is waaaay on up there.

Thanks, I never would have figured that out.

Yes, that's a Northern Alliance uniform. They wear camo. Taliban wore black.

Scary how many forums call this guy "Taliban"; not too bright. Guess nobody reads/watches the news to know what a Taliban looks like. Glad they're not in Afghanistan.
