Still have my .50 headspacing and timing gauge from over 30 years ago
(M48/60 guy). Used to love watching the tracers corkscrewing after the
barrel rifling got worn.

The 50 Cal BMG would have to be to most fun of all the weapons I was
ever paid to play with. Never fired it in anger - or
anything more active than an injudicious fox that made it halfway
across the range (and a boatload of mud crabbers). Fired from
a tripod in the sitting position, it ratifies every theory that
Sigmund Freud ever thought of.


With 81 years plus of service ( or at least standardization ) it
has to be in for some kind of longevity award and (probably) support
weapon of the (last) century.
