Range Day Included A Great 50 Caliber Treat!
« on: January 16, 2010, 04:14:37 PM »
Finally made it to the Gun Club I recently joined to actually shoot.  Some other members showed up with a cooler full of Tannerite in coffee cans, an old desktop computer tower, old xerox machine, and a 50BMG! :o

Well if you hit a coffee can of Tannerite at 100 yds with a .223 it makes a nice kaboom!!!  ;D Little mushroom cloud and everything.

If you shoot a Xerox machine with a 50BMG it obliterates it. These guys were kind enough to let me send a few rounds downrange from their Barrett.

Holy smokes Batman!!!!! For those that might not know, it creates a shock wave that can be felt 10 feet away that shakes through your whole body. Not as bad if your the one firing. But all I can say is WOW!!!!! What a great chance to shoot one.


I think I hate billt again,.... ;)

Great day,...... had a chance to give bowling pins HELL.  Let the Sig556 rock and roll, get some G21 time in, and meet some great folks. Weather was warm and breezy. If I win the Powerball, I'm getting two 50's... ::)

Glad you enjoyed the 50BMG. I had the same offer at a local range 2 - 3 weeks ago and declined for the reason of WEAK disipine. Had I shot that 50, I would have wanted one soooooo bad that I would have went to the Bank for a loan. In the past, I dreamed of having one. I want one still. To have shot that 50 would have sent me over the line.

I currently am looking at the 2010 Mustang GT..........So many toy's and not enough money is the problem here.

A couple of years ago I had the chance to fire an M14.  I didn't because I knew that would just make me want it even more.  I finally have my M1a on order so soon I'll be able to fullfill that need.

Cool!  A bank teller I know is dating a PO that has one.  They go out and shoot appliances with it. She's on to something.

I gotta find a girl that has one so I can date her...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

A buddy's girlfriend bought him a Barrett for Christmas acouple of years ago followed by a Garand the next year. She's cute as a bug, smart and a massage therapist.

They will also vibrate fluorescent bulbs out of their sockets up under the range shelter with the shock wave.........sometimes......  :o
