Hey guys…I’m the shooter. It was a waste of 5 bucks, but don’t we waste much more in a couple plinking trips? There was actually a rotten pumpkin in the water that I was trying to hit, and I almost did. We have put several hundred rounds through the weapon in much more appropriate contexts…i.e. the range or blowing up random objects. Below is a link to another video of Chad (the owner) firing a round at a boulder over 2 miles away. Since it was an API round, you can see the flash of the round hitting the rock…even from my crappy cell phone video.

Now what did that poor puddle ever do to that guy?
I’m with Spaker, surely he could have found something more entertaining to use as a target.

its .50 BMG rifle. I doubt he could aim that heavy thing and shooting anywhere but down would be very irresponsible. The heavy 600-800 grain hunk of lead could easily kill someone miles away.

On a rig like that it can’t be fun if you don’t have your partner calling wind. It seems like a waste of cash to me.
Yeah, like I wouldn’t with someone else’s.Please rate this comment: 0 0 -

Well that was a waste of 5 bucks… You shouldn’t be allowed to fire a .50 BMG unless it’s going into something that will explode on contact. Puddles don’t count.
