Notes
Everyone wants to say they shot a Barrett 50cal. It's on everyone's Bucket List. It's not accurate, it's not pretty. However, it is PRETTY AWESOME. I had the honor of pouring a lot of ammo through various Barretts throughout my 25 year military career (thanks, tax payers, for feeding my ammo habit). I have many fond memories with this beautiful weapon. It is an awesome weapon that brings a lot of capability to the battlefield. However, many people don't know too much about it's back ground. So, this week, I'm going to share a few fine tidbits of information about the Barrett that may be "new" to a few of you. Thanks for watching, TR.
Personal Notes
Anti-material/vehicle gun, 4 MOA, 10 round semi-auto. Large 760 grain bullet capable of taking explosive/AP/incendiary ("Raufoss") ammo. 25MM upper w/ shaped charge rounds developed but not fielded.
