[8D]--ANY OF YOU GUYS WATCH IT LAST NIGHT ??

--This main guy(tuned in late,don't know name) showed the (possible sniper) rifle using a .416 cal cartridge, he shot within 3 inches of the X, at 2500 ft--

--Also showed the new Virginia Class-USS TEXAS (ssn 775)-many brand new systems including a non-traditional perascope, that uses mirrors and fiberoptics and transmits the periscope image instantaneously to 30 seperate computer/moniter systems--KEWL

    Not only did I see it, but I had one of those long "what if" conversations with my good friend. Sure, the .416 is a great round, but when the worse happens...WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE ROUNDS? By the way they are about $15.00 each! With a Barrett .50 cal. you have all the power that you need ,plus you can get surplus ammo. in a pinch. Therefore, until I can stock pile .416, I will always pick the .50 cal.! Only ONE company makes the .416 ammo...I don't trust that at all.


    except...in california the .50 is illegal and the .416 is LEGAL...as of right now

    It is only the .50BMG that is illegal, but we can still get the .50DTC and others
