Talking Now this is what you call a gun...
Check out this youtube video of guys shooting a .577 t-rex. I'd never heard of it before. Friend of mine showed me the video. This thing is a friggin' monster. It's hilarious watching guys shoot this thing...I like the part about 30 secs. into the vid where it knocks the guy to the floor.


a better video.

Only reason I would guess is that they're really big into self abuse. No way would I shoot that thing. Not real big on punishing myself...

You can tell what someone thinks by reading the bumper stickers on their car. You can also tell if they think at all.

I thought that the 50 BMG was only available in semi-auto, like a Barrett.

Elmer Keith's autobiography has a picture of him holding a bolt action 50 BMG taken back in the early 1950s.

I saw one leaning against the wall in a gun shop last week.

There are a bunch of bolt action .50BMG rifles on the market. Barrett makes a couple of different ones for example. You can even get a single shot bolt action .50BMG upper receiver for an AR-15.
