Any centerfire rifle (maybe pistol too?) over .5" bore is considered a "destructive device" according to the ATF. Black powder and shotguns over .5" bore are exempt from DD status.
I knew there was more too it than diameter, just couldn't think of it off the top of my head. So once again the weapon in question would in fact be illegal.

that doesn't make a lot of sense, every gun is a device of destruction by nature.

trying to ruin my huge caliber fun, stupid ATF.

Saying things like this is just more ammo for the anti gun crowd. Guns are not destructive devices by nature. When you shoot a deer do you aim to destroy it or do you aim to kill it while otherwise not damaging the meat? When someone breaks into your home do you try to do as much damage as possible or do you first show the intruder you're armed so he'll leave before any damage is done and only fire if absolutely necessary? In combat you come across a man with 60+ lbs of explosives and shrapnel strapped to his chest in a crowded market. Do you aimlessly start shooting and hope for the best or do you take him down without setting of the explosives and save hundreds of lives?

Back to the large caliber fun! Legal or not bigger bullets are always better, rate of fire is just icing on the cake.

The problem with a .50BMG, is it is a .50BMG not that it is a .50.
I was refering to the cartridge which is used in many weapons, not the actual M2 browning machine gun.

It fires the .577 Tyrannosaur Round
And as this video illustrates, you can't actually use the gun without dropping it.

Yes you can, you just can't be a limp wristed bitch when shooting it. Notice how this guy stands, weight over his front foot, leaning into the rifle and the rifle pulled tight into his shoulder.
I have shot one, how could I pass it up:D, The recoil really isn't that bad. It's about on par with 10Ga. 3" magnums.

.577 Trex is just a .700 Nitro case necked down to .577, so .700 Nitro isn't any worse then the .577 Trex.

If you really want to hurt yourself, try this...

.
That there would be a 4 Bore not a .700 Nitro.


.700 Nitro
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D41NYBHkb9M
Notice the same stance.

And just for the hell of it. 2 Bore(1.326″)

.700 nitro express next to 2 bore and 3500 grain(1/2 pound) solid bronze bullet.

They even come bigger than this. The 1 bore has a caliber of 1.67″. The A Guage/Bore, about 2″, was used for punt guns.

Saw this about a year ago. I laughed all the way through it...especially at the arabs! LMAO!!! That's how we can win in Afghanistan. Sell them a bunch of these things and tell them the butt-plate is supposed to rest on their forehead!

Personally I would rather be shot with a .50 BMG than a shotgun with a deer slug. Those things are really nasty... not overpowering you-don't-have-a-chance powerful like the big gun but just really ugly when they hit meat and bone.

Saying things like this is just more ammo for the anti gun crowd. Guns are not destructive devices by nature. When you shoot a deer do you aim to destroy it or do you aim to kill it while otherwise not damaging the meat?

Guns were not intended to punch holes in paper, they were designed as an instrument of war. They can and will be destructive depending on user. The only defining thing about if they are constructive or destructive is which way they are pointed.

A .577 or even a .50 BMG would destroy a deer. I know a guy that has tried deer hunting with his 45-110 Sharps and it destroys whatever end of the deer he shoots.

Personally, I would rather have the Sharps and run 45-70 thru it than a .50 BMG anything... unless reselling the .50 and buying what I want is an option. :icon_idea:

.50 BMG is the name of the round.
