I just think GH was never in the military and didn't understand the term "Ma Duece" (M-2). I mean really do you think he could spend a week in boot w/o being sent up on an art 15??

Good point.

the 50 BMG round has 3 times the shocking power of the 300 W Mag. but the 300 with a 180 gr. projectile moves at 3250 Ft. per second and produces 4000 + Ft. Lbs. of energy.
And you wont have anything but FRAG to identify the can by. but I would still rather fire the 50 as it don't kick as bad as the 300 Mag does in a 9 lb. Mark V.

I definitely know what a Ma-Deuce is and have actually FIRED one ! Regarding using a 50BMG round on a wimpy aerosol can- now that's a waste ! A 300 Wby is a huge overkill as well. a single 5.56 round from my AR-15 would be more than plenty.
I have a CZ550 Safari Magnum in .458 Lott (about 7000 ft/lb energy at the muzzle) that makes a .458 Win Mag (which it also can fire) or a 375 H&H seem like a pip-squeak. I would not waste a round out of it on a can either.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

There is no such thing as "a waste" when it comes to firing an M2. Any and every chance....any and every target. It's awesome!

Since when have you ever, and I do mean ever, advocated anything less than the biggest and baddest for anything? Especially one of your juvenile prank type deals.

I ask you sir....
Who are you and what have you done with our beloved GH?????

I'll stick with the M2. I promise to give the can a fighting chance. I'll put it behind an inch thick plate of steel a few hundred yards away........and still smoke it!

I missed out on my chance to fire the Ma Deuce. But in this case, pop, pop, pop from my little 10/22 is all that is needed. My AR-15 and assorted .30 cals have been wall hangers since ammo prices went through the roof.

I miss being SAM 0058

Build floor: Centuri Mini Dactyl Estes - Low Boom SST Semroc - Marauder, Shrike, SST Shuttle

In paint: Canaroc Starfighter Scorpion Estes F-22 Air Superiority Fighter, Multi-Roc, Solar Sailer II, Xarconian Cruiser Semroc Cyber III

Ready to fly: Estes - Solar Sailer II Semroc - Earmark, Groonie Der V 1/2

How about a truck engine block, 4 concrete block walls and the steel plate and the can would
still be FRAG. 720 gr. 2950 ft. per Sec. 14, 300 ft.lbs. of energy.

I have fired both the bolt and the semi auto Barrett, So when I move up to Tennessee,
Nob Creek in on my bucket list.
