50BMG and other exotics

Shame we can't own semi-auto .50cals anymore, take some of the bite off them. This has just replaced a Barratt M82 on my wishlist;

Closest I have got is shooting .338 Lap a couple of times and found the last one uncomfortable to shoot as my contact lenses were bouncing with every shot.

It turned out my bouncing contacts were due to a too firm cheek weld so I will have to give the .338 Lap a try again :)

I have never had the chance to shoot a .50BMG but I know someone who is crazy enough to get one at some point.

How about a suppressed 20mm with a bolt longer than a lot of barrels? :lol:



Or if you're lucky enough to have a range cleared for 90mm...

Reminds me of a tale a mate (Army sniper) told me about when they were shooting .50BMG in America, he asked what the largest calibre they could use was and got the reply

"The range is approved for everything up to and including tactical nuclear weapons"

Not sure how true it was but it always makes me smile. :lol:
