heres some videos on a M107 :cool: ( i know this gun would be illegal in the uk beause it can reload,,i think :oops: )

:top:

In case you’re not familiar with the size of the bullet that things fires:
http://www.phx411.com/wordpress/imag...50-caliber.jpg

The bullet on the left is a .223 caliber round - similar to what is used in weapons like the civilian version of the M16, the AR-15.

The bullet in the middle is a .30-06. A standard hunting round (for big game - deer, elk) and the caliber of bullet used in M1, an American rifle often credited with winning WWII.

The .50 caliber bullet on the right was designed to shoot down aircraft and pierce armor. These can be bought on the internet by the way.

adam do you shoot? i dont (well appart from my airarms 410) but ive been talking to a gent in work and i fancy having a go! he uses the army range in breacon and says the army are always shooting 50cal up there :cool:

I used to do .22 Rifle shooting but haven't done for years now.

I got a 30mm A10 bullet here somewhere...

i dont wanna shoot that through a rifle :cry: :cry:

Lefty's always make the best shooters ;) :blabla:

I've shot alsorts, not sure on the legality of a 50 cal though, I'm guessing maybe not, just call it a hunch :cry:

Just ring your local gun shop Gareth, I'm sure they'll know.

How do you find the AA? I've had a few and settled on a TX200HC, not as quiet as the pre charged but its and awesome tool, bit heavy though. I had a gunpower stealth for a while, that was silly :eek: you could increase the power to well over 50ft/lbs with a 1mm allen key on the valve, rediculous.

Fuck a rifle, im sure this is more fun, then can use the bullet.

i really like shoot the airarms,,, just dont get much time to shoot properly! :oops:

same here mate, too much stigma attached to air rifles unfortunately.

I was going to look into getting a firearms licence but it seemed like a lot of hassle.

talking with this chap in work,,, there isnt much hassle with it,, but you do have to put the time into gaining one (joining clubs, showing your willingness to help out bla bla)

Not got an FAC, but I'm off to do my Weapons Instructor course at the end of this month, and a Range Management Qualification course in March :top:

let me know how you get on phil! you know im into anything like that :cool:

im booking my helicopter lesson for the spring ;)

if you want to see a mean firing range then check out knob creek in america... type it into you tube.. Bloody yanks take artilery pieces and blow fook out of the hillside.. you have kids firing M60's, Barrett .50cal, anti air craft guns, you name it its on there... try and find the proper site with the drill sgt out of full metal jacket..bloody mental

i thought you was taking the piss with knck creek in you tube,,,, but fuck you aint :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Just seen it too.... :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Shame how chavs buy cheap rifles and shoot and injure people :(

gareth T
50 calibre!?
fukk me mate that aint a gun, its a cannon!

They do night events at knob creek with tracer rounds shooting at drums of diesel armed with a bit of TNT for added affect. Also they get model aircraft and fly them over the gun range, you then get some yank with a ships anti aircraft gun blowing shite out of it. What a past time :DD:

They can either supply you with a gun from their arsenal... which is probably bigger than what the americans had during vietnam or just simply pop down with you willy's jeep with your .50 attached to the roof.

I have heard of another place which I think is somewhere like vietnam where you pay $50 and they give you access to a rocket launcher. They then take you into a field and you can blow up a cow!!! Mental

had another chat with another mate in work today,, and hes looking for a .50 cal! not a barrett though :cool: :top:

How much does it cost to become a licence holder?

http://www.surrey.police.uk/flic_item.asp?artid=4140

50 quid :top:

£50 for 5 years

Thank god for being in the army all i can say!!

Being paid to b on the ranges and firing everything from 9mm Pistols, .556mm NATO rounds .762 GPMG's, 94mm Anti Tank Rockets..........its all good fun!

Do the odd bit of clay pigeon shooting when im home (range not too far from me in the back of a farmers field, he practises there daily.)

ADAM-BLACK RS: that is a different version of the gun stavros's pic is about. Same caliber as the aircraft weapon but built slightly different for electronic's to auto target and fire when they are programmed to.

think ill settle for using my weapon of choice that im issued with:

I've been there... Its in Cambodia, just outside Phnom Penh :top:

I fired a AK47, 12 gauge pump action shotgun, and a colt 45. The AK had more kick back that the 12 gauge !!! :eek: We went there for my cousins 13 birthday, he got 30 rounds FREE on this....

man they are fun :top: :top: :top: :top:

It's an M249

correct 89XR2! :top:

the british army are going to be getting rid of the LSW's they use in favour of this weapon, and it has partially been used to take over from the 7.62mm GPMG's which are being serviced out slowly as well.

These things are a bitch to fire with the noise but its all good fun.

Gas parts are a cunt to clean tho :roll: :DD:

sure i heard or read somewhere that these were the guns used on teh front of the A-10 tank busters planes

and when they fire it would slow the plane down from the force of it

:cry:
