.50 BMG isn't right for SHTF imo, I'd want something that's fast and easy to operate, reliable, light and with ammo availability enough to last me the duration of the fan

gotta get those 50bmg double taps down

challenging with a bolt action

50bmg is over hyped. 416 Barrett is the superior round

it probably depends on the purpose

which heavy machine gun fires the 416?

It’s a long range rifle round

well then it's not superiour to .50 bmg

Effective range is something like 500 yards beyond the 50bmg

does it come in SLAP or Raufoss?

?

exactly

What are you talking about?

if you don't know what Raufoss is, then you probably shouldn't be comparing .50 BMG to some wildcat

GShG

I crane...lol

My dad has a .416 M99

It groups WAY better than any 50 load

We even ladder tested the 50 with different bullets

The .416 groups way better at post 1,000 and reaches out to some ungodly effective range...like 3,500 or some shit...I dont even know what its effective range is...But its superior to the 50...the 398 gr Bullets ballistic coefficient is superior

here's a thought, .50 BMG is not designed to be particularly accurate. It's a HMG cartridge later used on anti-materiel rifles.

only through video games .50 BMG weapons have been categorized as "sniper"

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
