50 cals

My wife just asked what I'm looking at. I told her snipers hide. She asked if it was porn and if I'm texting with hot girls who can cook. Yes.
 
50s. ? Duh everyone has them or you miss out on one or the hunting seasons.

50s are too dangerous for civilian ownership and need to be left to in the hands of responsible agencies. They never have accidents with them like shooting outside of their SDZs and killing cabbies next valley over.

Oh, wait…


Oh, that's nothing.

The army made a little whoopsie with their calculations for their 155s they were practicing with on the training range near my house when I was a kid.

They proceeded to yeet 2 x 155mm rounds OVER A FUCKING MOUNTAIN to the town on the other side and execute a perfect fire mission on some old man's clothesline in his back yard.

Thankfully they were training rounds so they didn't go bang, but the army did have to come dig the projectiles out of his yard and fill in the holes.

10th Marines shot out of the G10 impact area with HE at Lejeune back in the early 90s, killed a Colonel’s wife who was driving down the road to the back gate. The powder monkey loaded the wrong charge in the breach. Lots of other stories like this through the years.

The 50cal incident was in Oki in the early 90s, huge fucking international stink over that fuckup.

This is the mountain the Army missed. Maybe if they had qualified at 500 instead of at 300?

That’s what he gets for living in Lawton, OK
 
I’ll bite,

Truthful answer

They are too heavy, not accurate enough

Fun for 15-20 range trips but after all your family and friends shoot it a few times it collects dust or gets sold
