I WANT ONE!

[mlbford2]

I'm surprised Kerry didn't use one of these for his duck hunt exhibition.

This is a weapon that will obviously become the choice of gang members across the country. It must be banned now!

It'll have to wait. The "new" hasn't worn off my S&W 500 yet.

[Nice50BMG]

Must have one. Has our Governator banned it yet?

[eagle11]

Let's import as many as we can before Dick Durban gets any ideas....

[Boundless]

The competition - Barrett XM-109:

Shades of the Lahti and Boys rifles. The more things change....

[Darksheare]

I want one of those and the new Barret XM109..
Needs a bigger scope on it though.
(My 13B bias is showing..)

[JRandomFreeper]

It makes my AR-50 seem like a pop-gun.

I want one. Really. I'm single now... no-one to count the $$ per trigger pull. Good ammo for a .50 costs about $6.50/per. Wonder what 20mm costs. Anyone got dies?

And I thought action was just a change in linear momentum.

[Pointblank]

I think is needs extensive field testing... in Fallujah.

Barrett Firearms has a 20mm upper for their rifle already. Buy American!!!

Needs a bigger scope on it though.

In 1977, I paid $75 for my first car. In 2000, I paid $175 for a scope MOUNT. The scope cost much, much more, but not as much as I paid for my first house.

You can't have too many elevation clicks (1/4 MOA/click) on a scope.

[JustAnotherOkie]

Yep,

The gangsta's can sit in the burbs and pick of the inner city guys.

[JRandomFreeper]

Is there an .18 cal. sabot round? ;>)

[RatSlayer]

re: "Must have one. Has our Governator banned it yet?"

Since it over 50 cal, it is considered a destructive device and would require a Destructive Device license.

[JustAnotherOkie]

If kerry had one of those he could knock the underwear clean off a vietnamese.

[stevie_d_64]

Yep...Be nice to have one...But I sure as hell would not be happy to be the one to have to horse it around in the field...hehehe

Can't sling the sucker...Well maybe...But somebody else has gotta bring the ammo!!!

Humble...This thing would almost field dress bambi for you...hehehe
