Oh yeah, got to love the .50 BMG!! ^_^

i think we need a clean up on aisle 3. XP nice!

I bought a used scope with rings once, and the rings were something Badger Ordinance came up with specifically for this gun. Six studs each, ludicrously beefy. This guy seemed to think he needed them to shoot Ruger 8 from a bench. His loss, they cost him more than he got from me for them and his sexy scope. Did you know bushnell used to make a gorgeous "tactical" 10-40x50 with illuminated mil-dot and a heavier barrel than a sherman tank? They're now rare, but solid and dirt cheap.

The one time I saw one of these fired, I felt the waft of the muzzle brake from 30 feet (10m) away. About correct for the level of pop you'd expect from $5/shell.

Oh yes, its pretty neat to fire such a weapon ^_^

Especially the Gustav AT *grins*
As I was standing the pressure pushed up my pants XD

I have one in my collection as well Love it and hate it HAHA

think its best not to fire that indoors or you'll proberly find all your furniture at the back wall

Maybe ;)
But it wouldn't be that of a problem... its in my barraks ;)

Oh my goodness! Ranek, I'm sincerely jealous. *sluuuuuuuuuurps the little meerkat from rump to face*

*chuckles and purrrrrs, enjoying your big wet tongue* :D

Mmmmmmmmm.... There was one of those downatown at the gun store for like a lot. mhm :3

I got it for free and dont need to pay for ammo, reps or similar. Army life is great XD

I wanna kill people!!! >:l

Believe me, you dont want to. I was already in such situations...

dude, killing is amazing

Cant understand why you think that.

I had to and it was not nice...

Their head exs;poding, knowintg they aint gettin up >:3

how much do she weigh?

Quite much, 14kg :)
Even more than the MG74 XD (only 12kg) but shoots much more fun :D

heck yeah XD, the have that much power in your hands must be awesome!

Oh it is :D
Especially that I was last year anti tank gunner with a 16kg anti tank recoiless rifle ^^

i still have 1 more year of school before im enlisted with he US Army, right now im stuck with Army Jr. Reserve Officers Training Corps

Heh, I'm Sergeant and 7years in duty with 4abroad missions and 2injuries ^^

and your with the Austrian Military?

Yep, Austrian Armed Forces

Well I honor and respect you serving your serving your country sir ^^

Thanks much :)
Sadly there arent many who share this or appreciate what we soldiers do. Even when paying the highest price on the altar of freedom.

I'm sure you will do good comrade!

Your welcome sir ^^ lol I've wanted in the army since i was a Weee little lad XD

I always wanted to be Jet pilot, then I needed glasses... then I always wanted to be armored chavallry and ended up beeing with recon ^^

Lol when i was little i wanted to be a 5 star general, then i wanted to be a Navy Seal.... then i wanted to be a Marine, now i want to be a US Army Ranger, or at least be in the Air Borne Infantry

Airborne is awesome ^^
Had airborne training for some scouting missions

Lol what was going through your head before you jumped on your first jump? :3

The light went green, I moved to the open bay, though "Oh shit thats high" o,o while continueing to move, didnt stop but it was breathtaking ^^

3Lol, im probably going to black out XD, but i herd with the training you get, even if you are scared to jump, when the Sergeant says "JUMP!" you'll still jump x3.. i cant wait

Yep, you may be scared but not as much so that your fear take over. You have always to be in full control or it will end bad. Letting fear overcome and let down your professionalism can be deadly.

And before you jump from a real plane you do a training. We had the "Rundkappenschirm" training first in Wiener Neustadt.

lol that looks fun XD

It is :D

I think we have something similar but its just a straight drop down :/

The main thing is that they take little steps towards it so they dont get cold feet on the plane ^^

lol yeah X//D i would defiantly get cold feet if i tried right away

You'll do fine. It doesnt take that much courage to jump out a plane.

It takes more courage to jump out a plane from over 4000meters with breathing mask XD

Now that sounds like a view only a few get to see XD

Yep indeed ^^

Looks then like this ^^

That LOOKS AWESOME!! isn't camo on the bag the same as the camo the German Bundeswehr use?

Its similar but not exactly the same ^^

and i take it Austrian is similar to Deutsch?

In Austria we speak german ^^

:o i speak alittle XD, ill have to keep looking at my hand book every so often. Wie Gehts?

Mir gehts gut, und wie gehts Ihnen?

An diesem schönen morgen haben wir wunderbares Wetter ^^

is that paper "oildry" paper?

Some sort of, only to protect the table there ^^;

ok, I use that stuff for jet fuel spills, called pig pads

Ich bin sehr gut ^^ danke. Es ist mein letzter Tag der Uniform tragen.

That might be a little bit messed up ^^

Yep its messed up XD

Its not "Ich bin sehr gut" - "Mir geht es sehr gut" is more correct.
And the other even reads a bit difficult but I guess you mean the last day you wear your uniform. "Es is mein letzter Tag, an dem ich meine Uniform trage."

End of little german lesson XD

Lol all i have right now is 2 years of German at HIGH SCHOOL level XD

Didn't said it was bad, just corrected the grammar stuff.

And I know myself it is difficult to learn german as a foreign language, as is french for me XD

Je parle un petit peu francais ^^;

0.0, XD doesn't know what you said XD

I speak a little bit french ;)

Ist das Ding denn nicht etwas schwerfällig, vom Gewicht und dem Anschlag? Die Barrett kann man doch bestimmt nicht im Schulteranschlag schießen, da haut einen der Rückstoß doch bis nach Hamburg.

Aber sicherlich schiesst man die im Schulteranschlag und desto mehr du die in der Schulter hast desto weniger tuts weh *gg*

Ausserdem hat sie ja ne Rückstossbremse vorne (Mündungstück mit dem Ablass nach hinten das die Gase das Gewehr nach vorn ziehn, nicht so wie MG welches ein Rückstosslader ist *gg* )

I like.

Might want to open the window before shooting that thing off.

Maybe :)

Particularly if it's dirty. Of course, it's also much better if you have the sun at your back, so the target can't see in.

Yep I know :)

I suppose you could consider me a sniper in photography also; I don't shoot very much, but I try to make every one count. Of course, shooting film also enforces discipline and planning.

It indeed does
