Dontcha just love Mack's show?!??!?!?
He gets a boatload of trigger time on some really cool toys. I would love a job like that.

Hopefully, the Defeatocrats in Congress don't know about the Barret as they would label it's use as torture and pass legislation to ban it's use.

Mack is a lucky fellow to get all that range time with great new toy's. I used the M2 for long range spotting/marking from the turret, if that Barrett is as much of a joy to fire as the M2 I want one.

GM Cassel, yes it is a cool show. I love things like this. My Dad taught me about weapons at a very early age and I have a lot of respect for them and what they can do.

Les,yes very true, and they would probably ban squirt guns too huh if they could get away with it.

Jack, when I saw this I also looked at some of the other video's on the list at YouTube about this same weapon.
There was one where these guys were trying it out and the bullet hit something and it was so weird, it came back and hit his helmet. He was ok it hit the side of his helmet and it protected him. It shook him up and his buddies that were there with him. Then they laughed and said we better stop for the day.

When our 'ace' parochial son re-enacted the infamous Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg (8th grade project for Virginia 57th CSA), the Park Ranger said they shot .53 calibre bullets? If so, ouch and no wonder limbs were shredded and amputated! Our son's actual name was Pvt. Bryce Martin and he survived the charge but died in a Long Island NY POW Camp.... Love that UN politically correct parochial schooling, eh?!
