In the video below, YourTuber Kentucky Ballistics lines up six plastic 55-gallon water jugs — end-to-end — and shoots them with a .50 BMG rifle. If you’re like me, you expect the usual explosive penetration. Nope. Guess how many barrels it takes to stop the round . . .
The world comes back into focus; time has started up again. A Desert Tech HTI in .50 BMG is in my hands, and, oh yes, that’s right, I must have just fired it. I’ve been abused by a 20-pound, bolt-action, bullpup rifle spitting out 12,144 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, but with another half-inch projectile going […]
Desert Tech loaned me one of their HTI (Hard Target Interdiction) rifles to review. Look for that soon. Spoiler alert: it shoots half-inch pills at half MOA. But I couldn’t hold back from having a little fun with those big ol’ bullets in the meantime. Listed here in the order in which the videos were shot, I […]
Nick and I spotted this rare beast in the wild at Media Day At The Range, but the headline says it all. We came, we saw, we walked away empty-handed. We were definitely up to the challenge, however. Nick and I both took shots with an absolutely gorgeous (and brutal) Sako .416 Rigby, and a few […]
Let’s face it — the Barrett M82 .50 BMG is sooo 2009. I mean, all that range and knockdown power is great, but who wants to lug around a 57-inch long, 30-pound light artillery piece?
You remember that REDICULOUS 50 BMG bullpup that we saw a few days ago? Well, I just fondled it here at NDIA. And I have to say it feels exactly like I expected it would.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there’s beauty in functionality. If something fulfills a specific purpose and works flawlessly then it’s a work of art. Some might say the ArmaLite AR-50 .50 BMG Rifle is an ugly duckling because of its industrial appearance. To me, it’s a beautiful swan . . .
At 10:00 on Sunday morning, the airspace above Marine Corps Base Quantico was closed. The reason? I had just stepped to the firing line with my ArmaLite AR-50 chambered in 50 BMG (using Magtech 624gr M33 ammunition provided by LuckyGunner.com). Range control decided that I might be a danger to airplanes and so diverted air […]
What’s the best day? New gun day. The good folks at ArmaLite have generously provided an AR-50 rifle in 50 BMG for me to play with. LuckyGunner is providing some ammo. And play I will . . .
