Photojoe, a true story ....

For the jollies of it I rented one of the .50 caliber namesakes (your pic by your name) when they first became available. It was a big deal back then as it trumped a .44 magnum by a wide margin.

Brass alone was an ounce and a half ..... and one landed on the top of my head (rim down of course) after flying straight up and bouncing off the ceiling of the shooting booth.

I had blood running down my face when I exited the range and I pointedly suggested to the attendant that they only rent the gun for outside range use since it throws its heavy as hell sharp edged brass straight up in the air.

Roll Eyes

(fingering the circular scar on the top of his noggin as he types)

Happens to even the most experienced shooters at one time or another OF.

I'm sure you've seen this chick shooting the Desert Eagle 50

There's a good reason to only load one round. God knows where the second one would've wound up.

Ummm... no bugs?? Grin

My Ruger M77 338 mag with muzzle break shoots nicely in regards to recoil, but the raport is directed slightly back in all directions. Undecided

It makes the sand and dirt dance. Shocked

An arsenal, I love it. A guy got arrested in my area a couple of months ago. He had 200 rds. of pistol ammo that the newspaper called "an arsenal of ammo." I call it an hour or two at the range Cheesy

Ahh yes Justin, the infamous "Squib." Good thing you caught it, and it farted out in the breech. The squib is only an annoyance. The round coming after it is the one to worry about.

I hear ya Botman. I ordered 2800 rds. of .22lr on Wednesday from Natchezss.com. It's hard not to when it's on sale for $17 per box of 525. Sharon and I have been shooting outside at Fort Dix every Wednesday and can easily go through 500 rds. of .22 in addition to some 9mm and .38 spl.

Did he get arrested Because of the bullets or did they arrest him & then say he Had an arsenal?

OHH, & BTW,, theres no law against having hundreds of guns & thousands of bullets,, its just that only crazy people do that, so, its frowned upon,, people frown at me a lot..

&, for that lever action rifle or wheelgun in 22 caliber,, theres some fun to be had shooting the Aguila powderless 22 bullets, In a lever action, you can actually hear the hammer fall, its quieter than a pellet gun. Just a primered case & a light lead,

Now, why did I take the trouble to fix this noise war thing up so it can continue unabated?

Because it is a good one and I want to play too !!!

Hey, I am gonna put a poll up for the old geezers to answer because the young studs haven't gotten to the payback time yet and aren't getting the results of what they did to themselves yet.

Look at the poll and realize what we are all saying --- we did dumb shite to our hearing when we were young and immortal and the bill didn't come due until we were old and creaky.

And it pisses us off when we try to tell you and you testosterone back at us (which reminds us of yet another thing we miss and that pisses us off yet again)

Old farts are crotchety fer a reason ....

Grin

I never said you guys were wrong. I never said I "wasn"t" damaging my hearing. I merely pointed out that I'm not you, everyones body reacts differently. This is why I explained that playing loud music that is properly eq'd and harmonious is not damaging but can actually be beneficial. If you want to read about it, the article I posted is actually much bigger. I merely grabbed a couple paragraphs to show I wasn't making this up.

I know what your talking about, I never said anyone was wrong. Frankly I have better things to do than be called names and basically called a liar by some......person.
