It's ok, but if I can't get close enough that I need a 50BMG to tap a poor fella, then I'm not doing my job right.
I'll take 300WinMag anyday. Or 338 Lapua. 308's not bad either. Hell, even a well-placed 22-250 can do the deed. Screw it, gimme the big one after all.

Yep the .50cal is a bad-bitch. Not really any good except for a fixed or semi-permanent position. Its just too heavy and akward. We use the M24SWS(.308) and heavily modified "Marksman" version of the M-16.

I like 308's for some reason. Every one that I've shot has been more accurate than most guns. I shot a remington single round bolt action with no scope and still did pretty good. I want to buy one some day, but since I'm about to start college, money will be tight.

Trust me, sometimes you need to move. After the first shot you're position is compromised. At that point you make the decision to stay or remain in place. If you need to pop-smoke and E&E (escape and evade) you dont wanna be doing it with a .50cal Sniper rifle.

My view in brief. Otherwise its about 10,000 words.
The constitution is the perfect handbook for the operation of a free society. It is the only one that ever worked. It is still working today even though the owners are no longer trained in its upkeep and have limited understanding of its parts, or the reasoning behind the unclusion of those parts.
By just a few votes, the constitution would have required all males between 16 and 70 to own and have on hand for inspection, long gun, powder and ball in rather large quantities. Be trained in their use, and be ready to fight and move on one days notice.
That was the "militia" refered to in the 2nd amendment. Everybody of able body.
Too bad it didn't pass.
To protect the republic against all enemies foreign and domestic. Ever heard that?
The guns to defend the country against other countries and to defend the republic against domestic threats. Including a runaway central govenment.
Didn't know that?
I fear that the end of the draft was also the end of this country. The last place where anything like patriotism was being taught on a large scale was the US Army.
Everything you see touch or feel, the cars you drive, the food you eat the fact that you still speak a form of english, instead of spanish, german or japanese is the result of fire arms and trained people who could use them.
Have you heard of anyone trying to sneak out of the USA to get to a place of more freedom?
Those limp wristed countries who did not remember their past and have outlawed guns for their citizens, are now paying a terrible price for that pie in the sky
(I want to buy the world a coke) attitude. Home invations off the scale in England and Austrailia?????? They are now caught lieing about the numbers to hide their shame. Imagine a government doing that to make a failed program look good??
Who could have guessed that would happen? Just those people with a brain.
It should be obvious that the person with the firearm is safer than the person without. It is a fact that those without, benifit by having larger numbers of people around them with firearms. Basking in the safety without any of the responsibility
of gun ownership.
How many woman would have been raped and or murdered last year if they all carried and were trained in handgun use? How many home invations in England between WWII and the gun turn in, and between then and now. Thousands that we know of. And they send the victimes to jail for resisting and causing a problem.
Is that where you want to live?
It is the responsibility of every citizen to acquire and be trained in the use of firearms. It is your resposibility to protect yourself and your family from harm.
The police have no such responsibility. You will be long dead by the time police show up. Avarage response time 25 minutes nationwide.
Senater Kennedy's limo has killed more people than my entire gun collection.

The M82A1 is a very powerful and formidable weapon, no doubt. Its semi-auto slow-recoil function is intended more for firing at targets like helis and automobiles than for firing at persons. First it is not as accurate and dependable as a lot of bolt-action rifles, unfortunately, a lot of semi-auto sniper rifles pay this (sometimes small) price of 'too many moving parts'. Second, as mentioned before, it is heavy and bulky, which make a sniper's job of undetected relocation harder than it already is. Third, its muzzle-velocity and power is somewhat compromised by the semi-auto and anti-recoil function (in other words, you're not getting the full-.50BMG effect) as compared to other bolt-action .50cal rifles (like the AW.50).
With that said, the M82A1 will get the job done and has been proven in combat (very recently). Barrett is a good manufacturer and takes a lot of pride in its engineering.
