    So I got to shoot a .50 BMG today

    Group of us went down to the range and one of the guys had a registered Serbu BFG-50 http://www.serbu.com/top/bfg50.php

    Holy cow that was awesome. I would find myself chuckling every time someone shot it. Surprisingly mild recoil. One guy who is kind of tiny shot it, and the look on his face was priceless. For a moment, he looked like he wasn't sure if he was alive or dead lol We were shooting from a covered firing line, so the relatively enclosed space compounded the roar of the muzzle blast.

    If you ever have the chance to shoot one, take it!

    I haven't had the chance to shoot one, but I've been around when other people have and they sure are impressive!

      When I purposely stood at the gun's 8 o'clock I covered my nuts.

        Shot my friends in Nevada. 800 yds with steel target. Felt like launching artillery! Wish I had one



        this was not so bad either!

          Nice!

          I'm hesitant to share this photo because of the dumbass grin on my face, but here's a camera phone pic of me holding the rifle.

                    My wife and I rented a 50 a year or so ago and im sold on them. It brought back childhood fun and I had a huge grin for at least 3 days. Im a big guy but it gave me butterflies in my stomach when I shouldered the thing. Now im trying to save for 50dtc.

                          That is the fun of shooting 50BMG's. Takes a week or two to go away and can relapse when you think about firing it! Also, that grin is highly contagious. I know I have passed it to many. I have a hold folder of pics of new shooters with that grin from firing my gun. I even added two more this week.
