Heh you shot uphill about 30 degree elevation and rounds penetrated that (washing machine?) like butter. What was behind that hill? Those rounds are going to land awfully far away and be leathal.  :eek:

LOL if we missed our backstop, the neighbors might lose a few cows,  :bolt:

I still dont know if we are going to get any more special ammo, we had to go to a machine gun shoot to pic up that ammo, but it sure would be cool,

LOL I might end up buying 20 lbs of tannerite to set off all at once on new years eve, lol we will wake up the neighbors for sure!  :D

I thought tracers and incendiaries were illegal outside of law enforcement applications?

Also the .50, according to the Geneva Convention (afaik) can't be used for anti personnel.  However if personnel wears a uniform(shoot the uniform), belt buckle, small animals, canteen, etc...all is fair.

It's the Hague Accords and it doesn't ban the use of the .50 against people.  I have heard it was US Army policy to use crew served weapons on material.

Anything over a 50 cal is considered a destructive device according to BATF,and would require the 200 tax stamp,etc. 50 BMG is perfectly legal.
