.50 Ownage

The real deal. It must suck to get countersniped with a .50!!!

Best viewed in "full screen" mode. Graphic, but quite entertaining:

This video is NOT the real deal. This is a video of varmit hunters smoking varmits in Montana IIRC. You can actually make out the Badger in the very first shot. This video was outted as being BS about 6 months ago on other forums.

Lol@varmit video!!!

Yeah, some people have said it's false, but what do they know???

Some people have said it's a 6mm too, lmao!!!

The report and recoil are consistent with a .50, a 6mm wouldn't even come close to what you see in the video. If that's a 6mm, I'm P.O.T.U.S.!!!

In the third scene, that's a human arm comming off, complete with some of the web gear. Don't know how many marmots wear L.C.E.!!!

I used a digital camera to take the screenshots. That's why I said to check it out in full-screen mode, look for the details...

This came up before and I recall that Team Sergeant was very explicit about it being an animal (goat). Detcord.....quick...., edit out that part,

Use your Windows Movie Maker to import the video and break it down frame by frame.

I am not an expert but I am 99.999% sure that none of these shots are anything but small animals.

They are mountain goats and you can see the horns on the first one. It is a real damage but not on humans and not in A'stan.

Beleive as you wish but they are not humans.

If they were using a .50 on it then it had to be terrorist gelatin in A-stan. I read an article about that stuff last week. Terrible attrocities.
