Is it just overkill?

[Cryozombie]

Mag-Fed 20MM Rifle​

• 49” match grade fluted barrel​
• Heavy duty clam-shell brake​
• Detachable box magazine​
• Available in 14.5mm, 20mm, and new Anzio 20-50 calibers​
• Titanium firing pin​
• 5000 yard maximum range​
• Optional weights and configurations​
• Huge amounts of fun​
• Low recoil​

This MONSTER is only $12,000.00 with an approx cost of 8 bucks a round (15 for tracers) for ammo... better ban em before criminals start using them in holdups... *sarcasm*

From left to right: .223, .338 lapua, 50BMG, 20MM Vulcan

Like I said... Might be a BIT of overkill to this weapon.​

Idunno.

Unfortunately I can envision some situations in another few years where it could be just the thing

I had to wipe the drool off the keyboard before I could answer. I don't think it's overkill if used against hard targets at a distance. Vehicles, barracades, buildings. 5000 yards is a lot a safety between a sniper and an APC.

CA will ban these shortly

Overkill, Maybe.

But I bet it would be a hoot to shoot!

 

[Big Don]

BTW, 5000 yards = 2.84 MILES...

How's that for reachin' out and touching someone?

Yeah... thats why I commented about Criminals using them. I wonder statistically how many of those .50bmgs Cali banned were being used to rob banks like they claimed...

You can kill an elephant with a .300 Weatherby Magnum. You can kill a full sized baleen whale with a .50. If things are ever so bad that regular people here are pulling out young pieces of field artillery to take out hardened military targets we're all a day late and a dollar short.

Sorry, but for once I have to agree with the antis. "Physical inadequacies real or imagined."

Thats one piece of hardware there. Dang, mount that on top of my house with a back break to keep me up. I don't know what I would shoot with that, maybe a tank if they come in the neighbor, but it would be fun just to blow off a couple of rounds.

A friend of mine has a Lathi(a pre-WWII 20mm "anti-tank" rifle) and it is a blast to shoot. You do need a Destructive Device license to own one, or any piece of artillery, just like getting a Class-III license for automatic weapons.

I just figure if things go all the way to Condition Brown, like as in Aliens-are-strafing-my-hometown-the-White-House-is-overrun-by-zombies-and-the-Terminator-is-in-my-bathroom-doing-nasty-things-with-my-toothbrush BAD, and by some ****ed-up twist of Fate I need equipment like *that* to do whatever needs doing, there isn't much of it that my el cheapo beat up ol' Mosin won't get for me.......

Yeah because regualr lunitics would never say... steal a tank and drive it down the street while the people who are SUPPOSED to stop it look on helplessly...

Oh wait...

Heh.

 

[Cryozombie]

Oh BTW, in reality, the only reason I could see owning that is for the fun of the boom it would make when shot... I dont expect to have to take down a tank.

Just remember what Chairman Mao said:

Armed revolutionary struggle begins with the big knife.
With a big knife you can get a sword.
With a sword you can get a pistol.
With a pistol you can get a rifle.
With a rifle you can get anything.

Is that how far the recoil will toss you back? :lol:

 

[Big Don]

Yeah, that's why you need a bracing angle.

 

[Doc_Jude]

Very nice. Too bad I'll never be able to get one... Damn Arnie!!!

Just remember what Chairman Mao said:

Mao had it wrong... the big knife can get me a rifle.

I am thinking overkill, but I have seen firsthand what the 50BMG does to a human being. I have not much use for anything over .308. I don't even want to envision what this would do to a person, the 50 is bad enough.
