Freepers discuss their biggest one.
How many different calibres have you fired? And which one was the biggest one?

Sigh, I miss that rifle.

4. I'm guessing 6 1/2"
That is probably some really hugh armament in their camp.

Doesn't matter what you shoot, it's how you shoot it.

I imagine all of the posters are jerking off in Mommie's cellar toilet, right about now.

Idiots.

6. What is that? Is that .50 or... 20mm or something? Looks too small to be 20mm.
Edited on Wed Nov-17-10 11:10 PM by Poll_Blind
No, on second thought it does look big enough to be 20mm. Is it?

11. Jeeze. Does that thing fire more than 4 shots a second? I can't imagine...
...what the air pressure has got to be like when just one of those rounds fires.

20. It doesn't fire very fast, about one second.
It does have quite a bark too.

We used them when we went into the Gulf for small speed boats (bog hammers). They had better range and knock down power then a fifty or sixty.

14. You know that guy?!?
He's become a bit of a minor Internet legend.

Anyhow... I'm just wondering how you know his party affiliation and/or how he voted?

10. DU needs to start our own thread on this subject....
why should the Freepers have all the fun? B-)

Myself... largest rifle caliber... .50 BMG.

Pistol caliber... .500 S&W Magnum (trust me... not much fun after 5-6 rounds).

Largest non-civilian/non-commercial weapon... 90mm and 106mm recoilless rifle (otherwise known as a bazooka)

Best blow your load, pull of the trigger... Red Eye shoulder fired SAM (predecessor to the Stinger).

And for the final question (how many different calibers)?

I have no idea, but I'm guessing around 20-25.

12. Apparantly nobody realizes a 12-gauge shotgun is .79 caliber.
Which, incidently, is the largest-caliber firearm I've ever fires. 19mm, to those metrically inclinded.


And yes, it stings a bit.

18. Well, I looked around...
And apparently that's some stupid Freeper joke...someone joked about "firing this baby at the Japanese on D-Day" too.

But still...WTF?
