Now that is a rifle! What distance was you shooting it at?

Maybe about 150 yards..... the range is only 200 yards.

If you're willing to sport the cost of the food, they are fun to shoot.

Just got to take the can for mine home this weekend.

I just love the big pressure wave that hits you when shooting. Awe inspiring really.....

I definitely enjoyed it. Felt like the world shook! I definitely want one... although, I'm not sure if there's anything I actually don't want :)

Best for clearing the sinuses ;)
I had a SCAR 17 and 16. I also had a bunch of Glocks and a couple H&K pistols. Oh and a DDM4, but I sold everything when our government told me these dangerous tools can actually hurt someone. Apparently they grow legs and go on killing sprees.

Nothing quite like it, allright. I can tell you that a Bushmaster BA50 with its flat muzzle brake that has the baffles angled back at about a 45 degree angle to the breech will literally blow a hat or light jacket off the shooting table if you leave on laying there. Wouldn't even THINK of firing it without both earplugs AND earmuff-type protection. But it is still an abso-freakin'-lutely awesome shooting experience.

I only shot .50 at full-auto mounted on APC. No recoil, fun as hell! I finished deaf but with a big grin :)

It's a lot worse standing to the left or right of that muzzle when it goes off! Even if you are standing back in line with the shooter but damn it's an exhilarating feeling in your chest.
