Time to start new .50BMG mythos

[The Grand Inquisitor]

I'll through my hat into the ring and let everyone know that I shot down the International Space Station with my .50 BMG rifle the other day. You probably didn't hear about it because only the Russians were on-board so it was only on the Russian news. That's why.

I bought the special anti-atmosphere/zero-gravity ammo at a gun show, along with a few other supplies for shooting down things outside Earth, and I was able to get all of it a good price because of the gun show loophole. Because that's what it's good for.

I have the new satellite guided .50 caliber rounds, you can fire a round from any place in the world and they can home in on a liberal gungrabber's limosine and wait for the exact right moment to sneak through an open window and splatter them.

They'll never know what hit em.

Well, there was this tidal wave last night and a whole pile of them washed up on my front door. Now i'm just waiting for it to rain .50 BMG ammo!

 

[Husker1911]

I'd get one but since it's the weapon of choice of criminals................................. :banghead:

 

[Ironworker]

I was plinking in the back yard with my mail-order semi-automatic 50BMG revolver, and accidentally shot through a couple cop cars and a elementary school for disabled children a mile off. Woulda gone further if I'd been using my home-load scramjet high explosive squash head rounds that you can get 100 for $5 at gunshows.

So, I was shooting my .50bmg the other day, and the round went right through the backstop, achieved escape velocity, and exited the atmosphere, left the solar system, and blasted clean out of the galaxy, ultimately being stopped only by a direct impact with a passing star.

Here's the result:

Good thing I wasn't pointing it at the sun.

I hid mine out in the right front pocket of my baggy britches pulled down to show my undies. At least, it was hidden till I got into my Geo Metro to do a drive by on the home boys across town. As I drove by, I pulled it out and, while driving with my right hand, I fired it out the window left handed. Missed all the home boys but completely demolished a concrete block building housing all the town's homeless. They were ok though cause the cheap gun show loophole ammo was underpowered enough so that it stopped as soon as it blasted through the blocks.

Said Geo was pushed sideways by the recoil through the front wall of the county jail and 32 prisoners escaped. Guess I'm in trouble now. Anybody know a good lawyer?

I just shot a .50 for the first time today. It was an Armalite AR-50 that belongs to my friend's brother. Recoil was much lighter than I expected but the muzzle brake sends back quite a shockwave...(I'm serious about that much).

...it was so powerful that every puppy and grade school-age child within a 10 mile radius started bleeding from the nose and ears. Enviornmental impact was catastrophic. Trees fell over dead in the immediate area, while the fish died in every stream, lake and pond from lead poisoning. Birds fell from the sky, and several undiscovered species of fungus and mold became extinct.

60 Minutes should be knocking on my door for an interview any day now...

 

[cracked butt]

There has been a rash of liquor store hold ups in my area. The perp has been described as skinny, nervous looking, 6' tall, and wielding what is unmistakeably a Barrett M82A1 rifle.


We've also had problems with gangs going driveby shootings with .50 rifles- they would spray enough bullets out of their ghetto gunships to take down entire buildings in a neighborhood.

 

[Standing Wolf]

Heck, even the nine-year-old wannabe gang bangers in Colorado are packing .50 BMGs. It may take two or three of the little devils to carry one, you understand, but there's scarcely a neighborhood grocery that hasn't been hit by them. Death and destruction everywhere.

I sure wish the Great White Father would make those darned things illegal so we could live in safety again.

 

[Vitamin G]

I was shooting my Al-Qaida special edition 50BMG with Extreme Shock ammo, manufactured from the finest unobtainium. Anyways, I accidentially shot it upwards while it was on my shoulder, and it went straight up. Apparently the unobtainium has traces of the same elements of the stuff that the evil villain from Star Trek : Generations used to destroy stars, and the sun went out...

No really... The sun is out. (Stop looking at the clock, its not 9pm, the sun is out)

 

[Kamicosmos]

You hear about the 5th grader that took a Barrett to school in his lunchbag? His mom was upset over how it 'accidently' got in there.

Fortunately, the action was gummed up with grape jelly, or it would've been Columbine x 1,000!

 

[grampster]

I'm reading a Stuart Woods novel, "Orchid Blues" and a Barrett's rifle figures into the story. In one part of the story they were loading "clips" for the .50. They also loaded "clips" for their 9mm handguns.
An excerpt: "The shooter took his time, then squeezed off a round. Holly was amazed at how much noise the gun made. The the projectile hit the front of the school bus and two things happended almost at once. First the bus's hood flew into the air, then it was followed by the engine, which popped up out of bay a good three feet high." "Then the shooter sighted again and put three rounds into the bus, along it's length. Abruptly, the bus exploded into a huge ball of flame."

Wow, they finally got those things released.
Last I had heard, the only succesful test was in Dallas in late 1963.

I fired my .50 at the ground. It piereced the Earth's crust and traveled on to the core, and destroyed the entire western hemisphere, but only after shooting down 3 Boeing 747s and taking out a nuclear power plant in Russia.

 

[50 Shooter]

I shouldn't be talking about this but I know you guys can keep a secret. I was on a black ops mission last Dec. (26th), we were using special .50 rounds called "Aquaticus, Mk 10 Mod II". These were designed back in the '70's to take out Soviet subs.

The Mod I were fired from the torpedo tubes using a special adaptor, the Mod II are fired from a retrofitted M82. The M82 has hook ups for compressed air to help it fire from depths I can't mention here. Anyway, we were doing some live fire at some old WWII subs. One of the rounds caught a bad ricochet and hit the ocean floor.

Now you know the rest of the story!

Don't even ask me how the Exxon Valdez "really" went down...

The Russians didn't bring Mir down, I did.
