[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 949551, member: 56732"] Having shot the M2 a fair amount when I was in the service I've never had a great desire to own a bolt gun in that round. However I've watched college age girls shoot the Armalite 50 from the bench and they wanted to shoot more rounds after the first one. I think the trick with the 50 BMG is just a REALLY GREAT MUZZLE BRAKE. I didn't have a brake on my 500 A-Square. I could shoot it from the bench but didn't very much. Most of my 458 s didn't have brakes on them but I got so I could shoot them well. Same with my 416 s. The noise part of a brake can be a concern but it can be felt with hearing protection. . The actual crunch into your shoulder can be reduced with lighter bullets. But in a 50 you still have world class recoil . [/QUOTE]
