Thinking about getting a camel tag next season?  Bet you were just dying to know if you could use your AR for downing ol' hump-back!  Well, here's you answer!

On the serious tip, a buddy of mine dropped an audad goat this weekend with one shot through the shoulder/heart from his AR15. I believe he was shooting 62gr Hornadys.

And this is just the sort of reason that I added an AR-10T to my arsenol [:D]

Remember the Marine pic with the SAW, that is really effective on camels.

Mendoza also thinks they hit the camel because they had marked it with eight or nine lasers. But it seems they just couldn't kill the beast.

But did they try stabbing it with their steely knives?

Figures after I post that, I read the rest of the article and they actually reference that song.

Oh well.

A M2 Browning 50cal. works just fine. Please don't ask how I found this out.

No, since they don't have .223.

But 5.56mm might do better, since that's what they are issued.

Their LAV's have 25mm.

Wonder what a mess a 40mm would make.

If you shoot them with beer can cannons it just
pisses them off. I think 50.cal is about minimum
for camel shooting.
bs,

Didnt the royal family of Saudi Arabia get kinda pissy when some US service members popped at least one of their expensive as hell racing camels during Desert Sheild/Storm?

Ive witnessed the meeting of a camel and a land mine, more than once. Laughed my ass off everytime. You would think the Somali camel herders would keep them out of fields they knew to be mined, but they never did.
