The brake on the one looks just like an AMD65 ak brake.

They really need a bayonet lug on those rifles.

I had a Barrett M99 because I got a retarded price at a gun show ($3K NIB with the pelican case and the scope); but I cannot imagine any use for the thing. Maybe rhinoceros hunting at 2,000 meters on the Serengeti or some shit. I fired it a few times just to say I did it. My wife said that from the gun range to the house (maybe 600 yards away) that her cookie cutters were falling off the wall and that she thought she was in Beirut. They sound more like a mortar than a rifle, TBH. And even with the recoil reducer and the fact that the thing weighs 30 lbs; it still kicks like a mule. And I worried that if the round skipped off a rock the round would go another 20 miles and kill someone randomly. These rounds are almost a thousand grams and I can only assume it was invented to shoot planes out of the sky.

A bayonet for a .50 would have to be a giant 2 handed sword like a claymore....

At one time I had all three of those, but not all at the same time.
Because of the asshole Cuomo's SAFE act restrictions, I couldn't keep my beloved M82 because I couldn't make it safe act compliant without butchering it up and I loved that rifle too much to fuck it up to appease that asshole.
I sold it to a shooter in a free state and bought the Serbu semi before the SAFE act came into effect, as I could make it SAFE compliant and it's probably the only SAFE compliant semi auto 50bmg in NY state right now.
The M107 in the video is a CQ(
50Bmg Close Quarter rifle ????) model, with the short barrel and the new style Muzzle brake/suppressor mount on it.
I liked that one the least because of the brake being so close to me when firing, but it was an easy rifle to hump around.
The Serbu is way more accurate and easier shooting, but it's also much more finicky with ammo than either of the Barrett's.
Everyone should have a 50 Bmg in their arsenal.

My buddy brought his 50 over for me to check out. Might have to pick one up
I like the concept of those rifles, but I would be missing the magazine.

haha He used a hammer to close the bolt on a 50cal. Sorry no sympathy here.

It is a toss up with a serbu or a zel custom ar upper. U can get the zel custom upper that feeds from a magazine

If you read the whole thread, you'll find that the people talking about a hammer were talking out their ass.

Ummm....why?
The third video down from the top is a former member of that "other" ny gun forum. I know that Barrett well, i sold it to him.
I only read the first page. So if that is true what was the cause of the failure?
I think it would be funny to show up at an indoor range with one of those.

The more I read on that it appears to be an out of battery ignition. If this is the case I say that rifle did an excellent job at saving the shooters life.
BMG's are loud as hell outdoors, you might get off one shot indoors before you are shown the door. Yeah, i agree, funny as ever.

You won't hit what you are aiming at beyond about 100 yards. My Barrett M99 weighs like 30 lbs. Using that thing requires prone or a bench. And it's so loud that it shakes my house 400 yards away. My wife says the bronze cookie cutters fall off the wall in the kitchen, etc. It makes my Remington 700P look like a BB gun. Literally.

Considering the fact that a 50bmg round contains about as much explosive as a hand grenade, I'd say so.

The Firing Pin in Bergen, NY, just outside Rochester, has an indoor backstop that they say will take up to a .50 BMG. And the range is only 25 meters long...

How many pairs of ear protection can you wear at one time? Is it enough to muffle a 50 BMG indoors?
