Thread: First time shooting a 50bmg

A few mates went to a private range today fuk there were some nice toys. There was a steyr 50 cal there and I was offered a few shots. First impressions were fuk this things going to fuk my already fuked shoulders, it had a massive brake on it. It wasnt actually too bad to shoot....

The brakes are really effective aye, great fun banging away on the .50! Steyr HS50 was it?

Yea pretty cool wouldnt own one tho. Not exacty sure it looked pretty new and had a sideways mag on it. Id put a pic up but it has other people in it and I dont put pics like that on the internet without their permission

And you took it all apart and it went in a case

Those side ways mags are nasty if you like to really get down behind the action like I shoot, nearly got a fat lip hahahaha

Brakes phuuurrrrffffttt, check out this can lol

nah not fooled suppressor is in a different focus to rest of photo photo shopped surely

Just as well you are used to holding on with both hands Phil otherwise that thing might throw you.

I can tell you Rushy it was bloody heavy for little Phils arms, my big gun shooting days are well over now with my destroyed collarbone.

Genuine pic, was a Gunworks suppressor that the late great Robbie made, was one of Greg's set ups, have you still got that Can @Kiwi Greg ?

respect my good man bloody impressive

We need to put that pic into perspective for people that haven't meet phil....my 50 cal had a 16 inch barrel and it was still longer than Phil.
So for scale here is my 50 on a ford ranger tailgate so most can now appreciate how short phil is

Was watching a program on Sky while back called "High Speed Chase" Ep 1 of season 1, American police footage ( typically long winded Discovery channel type stuff ) had a guy that went rouge in his 18 wheeler, Mr coper blew out the engine block with a 50 cal, luckily & for some unknown reason he missed first shot but the fulla turned around n then got smakko'd

BTY - Body cam is actually quite a good watch, what some of those guys deal with is insane
