All joking aside, I'd love to own a feret. I don't know how many times I've drooled over them.
commoguy - You have to understand that Spud has a compound in Idaho and came on here recruiting people. We razzed him pretty bad about his long range capabilities with his multiple .50s. So crash was posting the long range thing tongue in cheek.

If I could afford to buy and feed a Barrett I would have one. I shot one a few times in the military, It was gobbs of fun.
1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

My wife's cousin's husband (see? I told you I like saying that) uses military surplus. You can get M8 API for as little as $2.20 a round.

Commo - The long range protection was meant to be an inside (sort of) joke. And I do agree with something you said about ownership regardless of the caliber of the weapon. Training. Without it, it's just a hammer or club. BTW 20+ years military, qualifed expert pistol, rifle, taught shipboard anti-terrorist tactics, ferried seal teams to and from insertion and extraction points....but yeah, training is important.
What's the big deal? So someone has a barret .50. It's not like they went out and bought an M2. Semi vs. Full auto makes a big difference. So what if it's a big round? Maybe I'm hunting a big target...Like my mother in law. Seriously though, I just don't understand how you can say "Oi, you can't own that!" just like the idiots in Britain that said "OH GAWD YOU CAN'T OWN A KNIFE!" They outlawed guns, so now people are getting stabbed to death. Go figure. So the Harry Potter actor gets shanked and now his family is pushing for even tougher penalties on knives. Great. What's next? They stop using knives, and go back to bottles, sticks, rocks, and bricks? I can hear the bobbies now "Oi there mate, I'm gonna have to run you in." "what did I do?" "you're illegally possesing a brick there." "I'm a ****ing mason, moron, I carry a hob for living."

I've fired the M-2 from a tripod / T&E and mounted on a Hummer. It rocks. Kinda like getting a full body massage with a plate compactor. To bad it weighs so much. The recoil of the Barret was like a 12 guage. However the muzzle blast was horrendous. I only made the mistake of standing off to the side for one shot. The only safe place is behind it. I will say again, "If I could afford a Barrett I would own a Berrett". While I'm at it I wish I could own a Mk-19

Oooooh yeah. I got to fire a MK-19 from an elevated position for a firing range. Awesome. However, stationary is nothing compared to what the MP's got to do....Mounted in the firing hatch of the Humvee, they got to fire it on a mobile range, driving an up-armored hummvee full speed through the range lighting up the targets. Freaking awesome to watch. I can just imagine being the guy driving or the guy on the Mk-19. As for the Mah deuce, we actually turned the barrels on two of the ones in our unit a nice copper color while trying to avoid the LT having to fill out the paperwork to turn all that excess ammo back in. *sigh* your tax dollars hard at work, no? But it was a blast.

Didn't they ban guns in Washington DC? But it has one of the highest murder rates (per capita) in the US? It is continually vying for first place with the highest murder rate with Detroit, and now, Flint, MI.
There will always be someone who knows better then you what is best for you, and take away your RIGHTS , dang that pesky consitution. Peoply have been trying to legislate morality forever. And yes I too would have a Barrett if I hade the cash, I have shot them and they are great.

Here's where we are headed if we don't start speaking up now and voting appropriately. (This means you)
