That’s why I named it accordingly, the big badass one. That’s exactly how it sounds.

if you link the file and wrap it with the mp3 it gives you the below player inline: (works for MP3 and M4A)
(looks like this, but I added a few spaces to make it 'not' make it like one I wanted. Directly below this, is my identical line with 0 spaces in it.

[ mp3 ]https :// ampgarage.com/forum/download/file.php?id=56345[ /mp3 ]


If you want to edit yours and change the link, I'll remove the link from mine.
Sounds very barky, love it.. mean stuff!

Very clean, lovely wiring job! Sounds great too!

Have you fired a 50 BMG before? Extremely fun, I highly recommend it! :mrgreen:

I’ve never had the opportunity to fire a .50BMG. Many 300 Weatherby mag though but not comparable. Currently I shoot 7.62x51 M118LR. I’ve got a M1A and a 700 and my brother in law has a 1000 yard range we shoot steel. It’s neat as hell wearing out 18 inch plates at 1000 yards.

In the infantry I was qualified on Ma Deuce (or M2 for the boring people out there) which is the .50BMG machine gun the Army, Navy, Marines and possibly even Air Force have used since before WWII as I recall it. It's made by Browning and has only had cosmetic changes since WWII. An amazing weapon, and fun to fire rapid .50 cal rounds down range :D

Designed toward the end of WWI ! This is basically the same 50-cal that went into WWII fighter and bomber aircraft as AN/M2, early jet fighters, Vietnam era helicopters and radar-directed B-52 tail guns as AN/M3, and in later rotary wing aircraft as M296 and M3P. That's quite a run ;^)
