Brutus450 Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 holy crap - I guess that was a bad idea. I like how you can hear it coming back Quote
Liberty or death Jr. Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 That was real smart of him. A few years ago, my dad, me and my brothers were at a shooting range with a guy who was shooting his 50 cal. They were shooting at a big plate of steel. The guy had a kid with him and another guy, my dad made us get behind the concrete because he knew something was gonna happen. Well the guy took a shot, and a hot piece of metal got stuck in his arm, either it was a piece of the bullet, or a piece of the steel, could have been a lot worse though. He was lucky. Quote
tucker301 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 Probably a fragment of the bullet's steel core. Shooting a .50 at steel under 200 yards is begging for a hot piece of steel to hit you somewhere. Quote
69beers Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 We used to shoot M2's at night in the desert with lots of tracers. Those things would ricochet off the ground and go FOREVER. It seemed like at least a mile or two. Quote
Liberty or death Jr. Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Reminds me of the movie Shooter with Mark Walberg, he shoots a .50 in the movie a few times. Its pretty cool. Quote
