I got that in an email a couple of years ago and man I did the same thing. Pretty amazing with a 50 cal. those snipers are. A whole lot of damage from a long, long way away. :shock:

That .50 cal looks like just the thing for a Spring antelope hunt!

Goto the Rock Chucks link under Varmit Safari II

By the way, I once personal trained Rock McMillan. Totally laid back and kinda nerdy.

She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

Got a cousin that's got one. I don't think he got it at WalMart.

Hate to brag, an' show my true colors, but....we got these things we call "whistle pigs", some folks call 'em ground hogs, some folks call 'em marmots, and some folks call 'em "got 'cha!" :mrgreen:

But I swear, in one of those clips, it looked like rifle, guts, bones, and turban all flew through the air.

Kind a gave me a woodie there for a second. :oops:

It was probably a McMillan TAC-50.

No shit, I swear I noticed half an intact spinal column helicoptering out of the impact zone. Totally wicked. Man, that shit is almost worth enlisting for. :twisted:

If the enemy had these guns I don't think I'd wear my pink "I love NY" boxers to a fire fight.

I believe you are correct.

I coulda told ya right away those were marmots instead of people. My dad has photos from Afghan land from a buddy of his and it looks nothing like that. There is no green foliage. PLUS, a 150+ human would not fly that high from a .50. They might bounce a little, but not 10-15 ft in the air like these critters did.

Still good shooting.
