[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2187951, member: 115285"] I have been shooting .50 BMG for many years. I also have SLAP ammo, but only use it in a belt fed (no brake) You definitely don't shoot sabo rounds with a muzzle brake, period! Also, some thought bullet to case "weld" this can not happen with a sabot. The previous round was jacketed and would have cleared any obstruction. They noted a change in muzzle flash, this is an indication of the sabot causing an obstruction, forcing more flash out of the brake. It is possible that round was hotter than the others. I doubt that even if the sabot got completely sideways in the brake the rifle would blow up like that. There would be damage to the brake for sure that would prove it. I really can't believe the manufacturer ever brought that firearm to market. I wouldn't even think about shooting one, especially after seeing this! Most people have no idea how much power you are dealing with in the .50 BMG round. [/QUOTE]
