"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

It gets kind of techie, 1 milradian = 3.6" at 100 yards, so x 5 = 18'' group for 80% of the shots fired. That does not sound great, but for the hard target downrange means a lot of hurt. 3' at 200, 4.5' @300 etc... Looking at the muzzle deflection due to just the suspension and tires flexing on the humvee, the outcome sounds better than I would expect, unless it has a dip gyro.

Saw a video of a single .50 round fried by a sniper.  It was a special purpose round that was shot at a cement block wall.  It penetrates the wall and produces a shotgun like explosion of material on the other side.  In this case it took out 2 bad guys who were setting up a machine gun behind the wall.

Imagine what that gun would do to a group  of bad guys in a room with a 10 x 10 outside wall at 500 yds.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

I was kinda hoping that someone was making an old-fashioned, hand-cranked Gatling in .50 BMG for civilian sale....  :-\

Even one in .50-90 could rock the range.....  ;D

CVA has a real nice brass one for only $45k. :o Again, I return to my point that you could pay the BG to go away for a fraction of the cost. ;D
