The orientation of that muzzle brake looks effective.  I almost bet the barrel threads on and off to reload looks like the barrel doesnt unthread http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/15039532_1065093793603686_6778482845660944619_o.jpg It's a quick change barrel.. Just requires a grinder. |

I don't think that's a .50BMG. I really think it might be a 12.7x108. One would think their only option for a .50 BMG barrel would be an M2 barrel and that's not one. I think it's a cut down Dshkm barrel. Then again it could be a piece of EMT filled with concrete and bored out. Either way, my ass wouldn't shoot it.
I'm glad to see the courts say that Trump can't stop that engineer from coming here.

He's not a weapons expert by any means but he said they were chambering 50BMG in it, not 12.7 which was my initial thought as well... Maybe a re-profiled Steyr barrel? I know the Iranians/Shia's always had those so I'd say it's possible ISIS turds got one. But, who knows....? |
