That's a Barrett .50, right? I've never fired one - what kind of pressure wave would you expect to get off of that thing, because whatever it is it's going straight down that dude's poop chute and that can't be comfortable.

It's definitely not a Barrett.

M110- simplest terms, an M16 in 308. His B-Hole is way behind the end of the silencer, so no worries there.

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

The Israeli air marshals are the ones who demanded the "Deagle", aka the Desert Eagle, be invented. They used to carry little pussy little .22s on airplanes because they were worried about depressurizing the cabin, but then the mossad invented a special incendiary .50 magnum bullet that does not penetrate the cabin. It also burns people from the inside out, the most horrible death imaginable.

Now the air marshalls have the true firepower they need in case of a hijacking.

Fun deagle facts:
  • The shockwave of the massive .50 bullet has been known to kill men
  • The weird looking slide was actually made to mount an optic! you can even mount rifle scopes on the deagle, turning it into a deadly sniper pistol
  • the deagle is heavily modifiable, there are hundreds of accessories to choose from

Having fired the .50 Desert Eagle once upon a time, it's a hilarious gun to shoot, with an absolutely silly fireball, but it's completely impractical :sun:

Tanks still suck but you don't gotta hand it to the Axis either.
The grip size makes it absolutely horrible to shoot unless your hands look like shovels, though. Definitely not for orange presidents.

I worked a gun range that had a rental Deagle in Gold Tiger Stripe. After being a Range Safety for a renter firing it, I told them to quit charging by the box, because nearly no one fired more than a mag through it.

We went from charging 30$ a box to 20$ a mag.

Still rented so much it was clapped out within 2 years.

I fired a nickel-plated one in .44 magnum that was very well maintained and cared for in general. It only had a single stoppage in an 8-round mag.

To be fair, asking a modern semi-auto pistol to fire eight whole rounds without a single failure to feed is pretty unrealistic.

I had a 1980s manufactured one in 357 that was the most finicky gun I've ever owned.
I'm including Army guns- that piece of poo poo hated just about every brand and loading I put into it, with one absolutely insane outlier.

We were in Vegas for a buddy’s birthday and hit up Battlefield Vegas, the place that’ll let you crush a car with a tank, and someone was renting one of those on the range. Indoors the concussion was insane, it was like a big bass kick drum in your lungs, and that’s not being anywhere in the path of the muzzle brake.

Seconding the Deagle sentiment. Hilarious to shoot, especially if I’m not buying the ammo, completely impractical unless you have Truckasaurus hands.

I shot a .357 and full fat .50 desert eagle with a friend of mine a few years back and an indoor range. The .357 was ok, but the 50 was just stupid as hell. Dramatic, but not actually much good. Also made a tactical error and was standing to the right of my friend so when he fired, the brass jumped the lane divider and smacked me in the forehead. Not fun.

Nah. Combat is chaos. We were in serious contact, and I was helping a wounded dude to the CCP. Dude checked his poo poo, called it clear, we weren't able to stop our momentum in time.

We moved A LOT slower after that.
