I posted this in the firearms thread, but I thought I would put it here as well. I got do the coolest thing at lunch today. I got to shoot a CAR with this. A 50 caliber semi-auto rifle. I should have pictures later the NRA PR woman was there taking pictures, and I think she is going to email me one.

The Barrett rep was there setting up the range, and a Fish and Wildlife officer called me to come out and meet him. When I got there I watched them shoot at something. It wasn’t until I had a pair of binoculars that I saw it was a car. You couldn’t see it with the naked eye. I can tell you this I have shot shotguns that had more recoil than the Barrett did. It was a rush, and an adrenalin rush to say the least

I did feel a little pressure with the Barrett guy on my left and the NRA woman on my right taking pictures. I would have shot that thing all day long if I could.

I did get a little startled right before I shot it. I got all laid out, sighted in, and getting ready to drop my finger into the trigger guard then bam my CSR called me. I had forgot to turn off my phone, and it started to vibrate in my pocket.

Damn, nice photos. I've always wanted to have & shoot a cannon.

The first thing I learned about firing a .50BMG while prone on gravel or dusy ground is, close your mouth, unless you like the taste of dirt. lol.

Me.
