that's fair

which makes saying shit like "50bmg is over hyped. 416 Barrett is the superior round" plain jane idiotic

that is a fun rifle

katanas are over hyped, a toilet paper is the superior butt wiping appliance

I think there is a mag-loaded ar-15 upper (bolt acion)

yah, same company makes a mag-fed version

Bolt AR?

yah mag-fed bolt ar .50 BMG

you can't double tap with a bolt action if that's what you're referring to

yes I know, I like the mag fed version so you don't continually have to load rounds into the chamber like a fucking single shot shotgun

ok, bolt actions without magazines are generally high precision/high camo kit. i'm not sure what kind of distances you'd have to work to necessarily need a bolt action instead of a semi.

They're fun.

@TwinVickers the 50 might've been designed as an HMG round, but we ain't using shitty mil surp rounds out of it🤣 They make Rounds specifically for long range shooting, and they still suck compared to the .416 or .408 cheytac

The thing is...Why do so many countries adopt the Barrett and McMillan .50s, as a heavy sniper/anti-material, when it's not the best option?

I'm trying to think of what the .50 bmg does that those rounds won't

Even armor penetration

If the military adopted the .416 and made an AP round, that is

So the .50 doesnt even have Anti-Material going for it

...

Oh

And btw

maybe just that they've been making it forever?

Twinvickers is a retard

The .50 is most definitely overhyped

Specifically in the amateur LongRange community

And the normal Gun Community

my understanding was that the .50 is really only good for light armored vehicles and infrastructure

and that it's not a pinpoint accuracy weapon

because of the crazy shit they have to do to make it work

Dont get me wrong, it's still accurate...Its just, not that accurate...The grouping is inferior to the .338 lapua at practically any range

Or even the .300 win mag

Keep in mind the 50 can reach out much further than the 300 win mag

right, that might not matter if you're blowing up a transformer at 1500 yards or something

True...But atleast with a .416 you get all the advantages of the .50, with godlike accuracy and grouping

It's just funny to see the M82 Barretts effective range being the same as a .300 win mag🤣 like only 1800 yards🤣

right, I don't think you need a 600+ grain projectile to take out a transformer

or some kind of infrastructure like that

The semi-auto Barrett sucks...idk why but they group like horseshit

Atleast the McMillan 50 and M99 bolt action 50 seem far more accurate...But that can be due to individual rifles...I just have yet to see an M82 that doesnt have the grouping of a child with cerebral palsy at 1600 yards
