Our military was late to this party. Barrett's 82-A1 was developed for the shooting public, pursuant to our Bill of Rights and our 14th Amendment's "equal rights" clause. See the testing and adoption dates of the XM-107.

The Democrat Politburo shall continue to nullify our rights through executive orders, treaties, and prima facia unConstitutional statutes with Ratified Constitutional nullifications through continuing judicial tyrannies.

The socialist/fascist elites shall press their Concord Bridges until Antietam II, from which they shall hide.

Under attack by Godless supreme federal socialists' "compelling State interests" "under color of law" since 1933, American liberty shall never again be assured by our Ratified Constitutional Republic unless We the People stand up to those who have become our rulers.

I have seen and fired my fair share of weaponry, but never had I even seen a firearm as intimidating as this one.

Oh yea, how about these, it uses the same ammunition:

Or this, it uses a "slightly larger" (30 mm vs. 12.7 mm) round:

What a wuss.

Nobody is going tospend $7,000 on a .50 cal rifle to knock off the local "stop and rob" mini-mart.

True, but it would be useful for stopping the fleeing felons after the robbery, wouldn't it. It'll shoot right through the average engine block. :)

How likely is shooting a plane out of the air with a rifle?

Not too unlikely, if you are close enough, the airplane is going fairly slow, and your rifle is a full auto, such an M-16, AK-47 or M-14, and you target the cockpit. The plane isn't going to fly itself with holes in the pilots. But with a semi-auto or other single shot per trigger pull rifle? Not bloody likely.

"...you can snap off ten shots as fast as you can pull the trigger."

Yea, but you will not hit jack S***. The recoil is so much it take 1 to 2 seconds to reacquire the proper sight picture. I am sure there are a few people out there that could shoot off 10 rounds as fast as the can and actually hit something, but not me.

It is a fun fire arm by the way!!

"Military guns too accessible to public"

Bull S**t!

Even an M1, 40 years out of print, is too expensive. They're none too accessible yet in my book but bring the price of a cherry Garand down to the $300 some good loking Mauser 98's go for and I think we may have this problem solved.

But there will probably be collateral damage downrange after the round goes through the engine block. An armor piercing RPG through the driver's door with be a more appropriate approach against a car full of criminals. Unfortunately, the ammo shelf at Walmart is perpetually out of stock on RPG type devices.

A nice review of effects. It really does expose the difference in rifle and pistol terminal ballistics.

That commie puke maggot needs his head removed from an unauthorized orifice. Regardless of what the gun-grabbers want, the Constitution does not regulate the caliber of the firearms we own. We do have restrictions on our ownership of firearms thanks to a couple of stupid laws passed in 1934 and 1968 by DEMOCRATS. We should be working to get those two laws either repealed by the Congress or overturned by the courts. Let the gun-grabbers play defense for a change.

BTW, if the commie puke maggot hoplophobe got a look inside my gun safe he'd have to change his drawers. I don't own a Barrett (yet), but I do have something with a bore just as big, and it ain't a shotgun.

Yeah, the NFA is a bitch.

I guess I was only thinking about stuff you can own without saying "Uncle May I" (other than "may I buy a gun at all")

Wow, Does that mean that my semiautomatic .50 caliber muzzle loader should be banned? My goodness Whatever next? This guy has rocks in his head. Sure that gun is around. How many of us on this posting can afford to buy the Barret. Nice gun, but I converted the aiming barrel of my 90mm recoiless rifle long ago. It gets the job done.

Oooo! Mommie! Mommie! The big bad looking weapon is scary! Let me hide under your skirt until the pee stains on my pants dry up and then lets ban the weapon so I will FEEL better cause I can't ever see a scary looking weapon again.

"THAT is what he should be outraged over.."

Exactly! The fact that he apparently isn't is telling of the liberal mindset.

I'd prefer a 1903 Springfield 1903A3 with a good nightscope.

But then I'm an atavist.

It seems that the writer doesn't like to have a rifle that is easy to use and accurate. The fact that it is 50 caliber is inmaterial. I dont believe the type of gun matters if you are on the recieving end. Dead is dead no matter what type of gun.
Planes can take a 50 caliber bullet easily. Heard there was a Boeing that lost its roof and landed. Planes have lost engines and landed . A little hole is not that dangerous unless he got a lucky shot at a pilot.

This is definiately a sniper rifle. The only people that can afford it would probably be collectors. Not many will use it to shoot game or man at 2000 yards. This is defininately not a rifle that I am concerned being in private civilian hands. May need it if war ever happens in the states.

I f someone wants to spend their money that is their right.

I just can't understand people getting scared by a big caliber weapon. I am not likely to be shot by a sniper and a 45 caliber bullet would damage me enough that a 50 caliber doesn't scare, either can kill me.
