Elephant Gun for SniperOK, what does an elephant need a gun for, and how can it hide ephectively enough to be a sniper?

I prefer the .338 Lapua for extreme long distance. It’s lighter and 2500 yards is possible with the right load and if I do my job... if I need to go further, I’ll break out the .50

(rather than the oft-quoted, but little used, "anti-material" use of the .50 caliber sniper rifles.)I had an acquaintance who said that they were taught not to shoot at personnel with the fifties. They were supposed to shoot at their canteens or other hardware on their belts.

These weapons are needed when you have to shoot through a concrete wall to hit the enemy or needed when shooting enemy in armored vehicle! I want one!

I watched Mack on “Weaponology” test this rifle and it was amazingly accurate and long ranges. I think the power of these sniper brutes really enlarges the kill zone.
I’ll have to stick with my old and common .300 Win mag.

The only current use I’d have for it would be to replace my long range varmint gun. I could find a hill and extend my range considerably, even though it might be a little overkill.

As seen in the movie “Shooter” where they framed a guy for assassination.

What’s the recoil of a Lapua like without a brake on the snout of the darned thing? Let’s say we were talking of a rifle with 26 to 28” bbl, 15lbs... how much recoil do you think it would have without a brake?

(rather than the oft-quoted, but little used, "anti-material" use of the .50 caliber sniper rifles.) Indeed. Heavy machine guns are not humane against personnel. They are only intended to be used against material.
So always aim at the belt buckle, buttons, helmet, etc.

Weaponology on the Military Channel has a good show on this, showed hits at over a mile. Used a PDA and windmeter to dope the thing for a first shot hit. Impressive.

I saw that one; it was a good show.

Hell, ole Paulson said he would send me a case of his bazooka’s and he said they were new, never used as they were too small of a caliber. He needed to use the big stuff.
