Yeah, except it is just a big bolt action gun. The M2 and the Barret 50 cal have either mounting options or gas impingement to deal with the recoil. With those WW2 anti tank guns, you got all of it. The Russian ones were reported to dislocate or break shoulders. They were also around 950 grain where as the .50 BMG is 650 - 800 grain depending. It's like a .45-70 compared to a .45-90.

I just bought a REVO 3D scanner, I hope to make side-money scanning items/people/pets/etc. for people with 3D printers.

At the age of 19, I pierced my ears. Over the next few years, I stretched them to 0 gauge. At the age of 25/26, I pulled them. Last week my 15 year old son pierced his ears and asked me if I would ever stretch my ears again. My wife said I should. So that is what I am up to...12 years later, I am re-gauging my ears. I was able to successfully get a 10 gauge back in my ears right away.

Oh and my wife and I have started a blog and a podcast. I am excited to see where that takes us!

Gages are out. Get a lip plate or a neck stretchy thing ? ..... I remember an owner of a company i worked for went off on an employee during a company meeting as he was using gage pins from the quality lab to stretch his ears and would just trade out the pin size weekly. Priceless entertainment

I remember either seeing a thing on TV or reading it, but those 'neck-stretchy-things' don't actually stretch the neck, but force the shoulders down.

Kind of like when Chuck Norris does a push up, he doesn't go up, the earth goes down.

There is about a 95% chance that I will be buying this Sept 8th or 9th, depends on the sale they are having at the Expo, and all the answers I can get about it. Either the 520 (25"x50"x7" @ $5000) or the 510 (25"x25"x7" @ $4000). They also have a 3D scanning head attachment for $350 for the thing. Also, a 2watt ($500) or 7watt ($1000) laser attachment for it as well. Use your own router or get a 2hp water-cooled spindle ($1000) or a 3hp water-cooled spindle ($1400). There is also a motorized 4th axis (lathe) unit.
