why are you getting thumbed down? lol

Who knows man lol, he seems pretty gullible lol

Ahem.. I know? I was messing with him... I was making it pretty obvious lol

I don't see how my imagination has anything to do with hearing a someone yelling, "1, 2, 3, go." Why would he even shout at the guy in the red to move?

Obviously because a huge wall of people was about to hit him? Come on man, Shit. Imagination.

Your points are good there and I don't really have anything to say. So I guess you win.

No insults from me man, just read up on some of the stuff from both wars. Its interesting to see the contrasts.

It's pretty obvious he does...

Bad audio and screaming? Its not that obvious.

The war was coming to a close. We were gonna win, but we wanted to display our power. 250,000 innocent civilians didn't deserve to die. There's a reason there's soldiers. So the civilians don't have to fight.

The war was coming to a close?! You don't seem to know your WW2. Hirohito's soldiers were posed and ready to completely take over China and die before they surrendered. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Japanese customs during that time, but they didn't "surrender" they fought until they were killed or they killed themselves. Japanese civilians were ready to attack and commit Seppuku whenever they seemed close to capture. There was no surrender. They would fight until they couldn't anymore, a landing or invasion of Japan would have killed many more people.

I blame anyone and everyone who says yolo on a regular basis

YOLO was spread by former KGB sleeper agents to slowly degrade our generations.

Yeah. All I'm saying is what we did was worse, but we act like it wasn't.

What we did was stop a war, what they did was start one.

My point is both were wrong. But we're hypocrites for acting like we're not bad people for it.

"It was war." What do you think Al Qaeda were saying?

They did it for their reasons, and we did it for our reasons. Al Qaeda is a terrorist group to us and a savior to themselves. History is defined by the victor, its up to you to look deeper and see the truth.

Article: www.nowpublic.com/world/world-trade-center-building-designers-pre-9-11-claims-strongly-implicate-towers-should-have-remained-standing-9-11

Yea i understood the tone, just needed a second to get the quote.

This isnt the exact article, but it says it quite a few times that the calculations and planning before 9/11 added up to say that the WTC could handle a 100mph wind, plane crash, or bomb. And i quote "little likelihood of a collapse no matter how the building was attacked"

Hmm, from this, its pretty obvious who did it.
Aliens..

I blame anyone and everyone who says yolo on a regular basis

YOLO was spread by former KGB sleeper agents to slowly degrade our generations.

It was said by one of the contractors who built the WTC in an interview. Gimme a sec, let me see if i can find it.

Please do, I wasn't calling you an idiot, it just sounds impossible

For some reason I forgot they had mounted .50 cals on a lot of military vehicles...
But snipers often use .50 cals now because of the extreme distance they can take someone down with it.

False. Most snipers use .408 Cheytac or .338 Lapua because its ballistics are similar to the .50 but doesn't make as much of a mess. .50 is really only used for vehicle disabling. Even the worlds longest sniper shot wasn't done with a .50

So because someone beat the top 5 sniper shots, that were made using a .50 bmg rifle, with a .338 lapua; it is not often used by snipers?

I didn't say most snipers used it, I said it was often used by snipers...and snipers are not exclusively used for anti-personal anymore.
Snipers can be tasked with taking out important parts of parked airplanes(turbines, aiming optics etc), engine blocks of enemy vehicles etc
And is likely very suited for urban combat support, since steel cored rounds can cause cover to turn into deadly shrapnel, if the sniper shoots through a wall someone is taking cover behind.

The .50 bmg is not exclusively anti-matter like the excessively large 20 mm rounds.

Cpl. Rob Furlong: 1.5 miles using a McMillian Tac-50
The number one spot is a .50 but only because of distance and badassery.

Actually the longest sniper shot is two consecutive kill shots at 1.54 mile by Craig Harrison with a .338 lapua in a rifle I've never heard of...

Holy fuck, I looked it up, and thats bad ass. He just barely beat out Furlong. Wait... you've never heard of the L115?

Yeah, I hadn't even heard of the company Accuracy International that makes it either...
The gun has only been around a decade now and from what I have read is mainly used by the British Military...I didn't think the UK had any decent gun manufacturers

"and snipers are not exclusively used for anti-personal anymore.

You mean exactly like i said?

If you want to shoot fire, they make Dragon's breath rounds...pic related

I plan on buying some very soon for my 12 ga lol

It is an older rifle round and the guns were generally 26"
Most .50 BMG are bullpup designed...which means the entire rifle length all the way into the butt of the gun is barrel

Meh, the only bullpup .50's i can think of are Barrett's, most .50's are mounted machine guns, not long range rifles.

The extra powder will just make an extremely impressive fireball at the end of the barrel

and who wouldn't want that shit? xD Long story short, If used in a situation that its not intended for it would probably not be very effective.

.50 BMG
Test barrel length: 45 in (1143 mm)

The .600 Nitro is technically a rifle round (my mistake in the previous comment) and I would imagine it had a similar test barrel length.

It is an older rifle round and the guns were generally 26"

not when the .50 cal is in a 1 inch barrel revolver...which will extremely reduce the stopping power behind the bullet...
Rifle rounds need more barrel length for the gasses to expand and propel the round more effectively

Its still got a shit ton more powder behind it..
