My, a Barrett. Waiting for Rick to get his blood pressure down to the point of making a comment. Hopefully you didn't do him in.
My comments are tame compared to Rick's. That's because he is older than me and has less tolerance due to his antique age. He is also forced to try to get performance out of them in SOTIC. I am only forced to have our guys zero them (relative term with Barretts firing any sort of issued ammo), and to shoot some M-113 hulks at 600 meters for about five or ten rounds per shooter. Oh yes guys, I shoot only Mk-211 from the Barretts during our programs so I don't need comments about Ball or 1950's vintage M-8 API. The stuff we shot two months ago was Mk-211 from 2002. The M-107's didn't do this good ammo any justice.
Not a criticism of you old boy. Kind of like PTSD, anything that forces me to think of a Barrett tends to have an adverse effect on me.
