I'm wondering how big a 6' target would look like at 1.5 miles?
Probably the size of the period between 1.5 |

From my back patio deck I have an unobstructed veiw for at least 10 miles and can almost see Canada 350 miles straight north if there wasn't hills in the way.
Only with my 8x50 binoculars can I see cows and prairie goats at 1.5 miles away. A person at that range is barely larger than a smudge. |

Me and some buddies were shooting Skeet on a public range on day.
The fellow pulling the birds and I were chatting....he kept saying to me..." Man, I don't know how you guys hit those clays...." I finally asked him if he shot a shotgun. "No".. he says..." .50cal at 500 yards...competition....." I just shook my head .... |

Shweeeeeeet.
Wonder what kind of energy it's still carrying down range at 1.5 miles. Barrett's got balls. Since the adoption of .50 BMG rifles by military sniper units, there has been a growing gun control movement in some states, including California, New York, Massachusetts, Hawaii, and Illinois, to ban civilian possession of .50 BMG rifles and ammunition. Bill AB50 in California, passed in 2004, classifies all .50 BMG rifles of any action type as assault weapons, which are illegal to import into the state or transfer to any but a state agency or dealer licensed to purchase them. The bill's sponsor, California Assemblyman Paul Koretz, claimed that the .50 BMG "would be an ideal choice for use in an act of terrorism," it is considered by gun experts to be a poor choice because of it's size, weight and cost. The considerable size and weight of .50 BMG rifles, high cost (many manufactures offer them for under USD$2,200 ), and lack of concealibility make them a poor choice for criminal use. With lengths usually between four and five feet and weighing 20-35 pounds, they are unwieldy and difficult to conceal. After AB50 was passed, Barrett proceeded to cease sales and service of .50 BMG rifles to California law enforcement agencies. An official press release from the owner of Barrett Firearms can be found on the company's website, as follows: "The California legislature has banned the .50 BMG from the good citizens of the state of California, violating their rights and the constitution of our republic. Therefore, Barrett will not sell to or service any California government agencies." |

Cool weapon.
You get to see lots of .50cal action in the new movie Shooter. And there is one first class propane tank incident as well!
