SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 It seems like we are living in a time of anything goes in the gun market. The more the obscure the better. Its like a race to see who can build the biggest most ridiculous gun ever. Anyone else notice this? I really wonder if this is out of fear that we may someday very soon lose our rights to bear arms so it's just a wide open race to build whatever while you still can…..or is it a ploy by gun manufactures to get noticed and get their name out there. Or is it, that there is actually a market out there for all the yahoos that actually think Zombies are real and that the biggest baddest gun on the planet will somehow help them survive the end of the world.

james lambert 3,059 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 With a 50 cal breach loading restriction being the law of the land in non NFA or destructive device (shotgun exception) of course show us this bigger and biggest you refer to.

SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I do find it nothing short of amazing that we are allowed to own a .50 BMG with out a stamp. That is the main reason I even ever purchased one in the first place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I got to shoot a Barrett light 50 from the hip and shoulder at a Class 3 meet here in SW OR USA. Heavy and hard to shoulder like a BAR. Recoil was very brisk to say the least. Like my S12 with max buckshot. It was the muzzle blast that made it a no go. Yikes! Headache for hours even with plugs and muffs. All US Code Laws And NFA Rules Apply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Here's my Ferret50: Recoil isn't bad. Plugs and muffs are a must. DON'T shoot prone or gravel. The backblast is bad for the scope and you'll get a faceful of rocks. ...ask me how I know. Also, DON'T lie in the pickup bed with the muzzle out over the tailgate. You'll lose all your rear lights when you fire. An acquaintance of mine did that. Backstop MINIMUM is ten FEET of packed earth. Don't shoot hard targets unless you know EVERYWHERE the bullet AND rock fragments are going to go. Not mine. Believe it or not...it's AirSoft. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Armalite's Muzzle design helps deflect the waves a bit. The recoil is nothing,I think my .308 kicks harder. The muzzle blast is always refreshing. I have never shot another .50 other than my Armalite so I really can't compare it to anything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james lambert 3,059 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 My point was 50 is the biggest And I DO love cannons!! They are super cool! PS most tank breaks are very similar on 50s some with holes instead of baffles are less effective PS PS I did know of a friend of a friend who shot a 50 off the roof of his dodge truck.

HB of CJ 1,263 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 patriot; Would a nice can help greatly? I honestly do not know which is why I am asking. How bad is your felt or observed recoil shooting prone? Elite Iron Suppressors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Felt recoil is a big shove. Keep your mouth closed to help prevent concussion headache. I try to time my shots to no more than 1 a minute. The overpressure is worse prone. Off a shooting bench it's not as bad, but it WILL clean off a bench on either side of you. A roof over the firing line makes the noise a LOT worse. I don't think a suppressor would help with recoil except by added mass. The brake I have on mine makes it easy to shoot. It's not nearly as bad as you'd think. My setup is ~33 lbs. NOT something to hump through the woods. It's loads of fun to shoot 5gal buckets of water with. Turn them upside down and shoot close to the ground. They take off like a rocket due to hydrostatic shock. I usually have time to get out from behind the rifle and watch 'em come back down. Water filled 15 gal poly drums are even more fun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Hartley 526 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Cans are great on heavy guns. I shot a .338 Lapua prone without a can and then some kids were allowed to shoot the same gun with a can. Heavy shock wave and lots of dust without the can, almost no muzzle blast, very little dust movement with the can. Much more pleasant and would be much stealthier if you had to use if for real.

james lambert 3,059 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 from time to time we get prairie dogs on one of our properties We shoot them with the 50, shoot about 10 inches low or so at the mound, Not every time but sometimes it shoots the dog 20 feet into the air. great fun! I used to load match ammo for 50 but now i shoot what ever is cheapest 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to load match ammo for 50 but now i shoot what ever is cheapest Same thing works on groundhogs. A 50 cal shot filled bullet can be made from a 7mm Mag casing and Corbin bullet dies. I've heard of them being used on groundhogs at looong range. Sort of a really huge Glaser Safety Slug.....or eating a live grenade. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Prairie dog sky rockets……. The great thing about shooting Ground squirrels with a 50 BMG is it is cleaned and cooked and ready for the dinner table all in one shot.

JDeko 792 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 huh, good thing I've never shot a .50bmg or else I'd most likely have damaged something I didn't mean to. And I always heard you want you mouth open in order to not cause all sorts of pressure-related injuries? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Closed is better so you don't overpressure your sinuses. Concussion headache is no fun. The mouth acts like a funnel for the shock wave. Your nose is open ACROSS the shock wave, not in line with it like your mouth. Safety goggles are ALWAYS a must too. ...and for God's sake DO NOT fire a 50 cal from Hesse/Blackthorne/whateverthehelltheycallthemselvestoday. You could wear it on your face. They're the ONLY 50 permabanned from FCSA sanctioned matches. Edited January 24, 2016 by patriot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
