Oops!

Post by Keith B »

When shooting the .50, don't only know your target and what's beyond, but know what's beside you too! :eek6

I like the old guy's laugh when he realized it.

It is on the owner of the rifle and truck. Old man is an old fart, he can be excused at his age, especially when he is going trigger happy with a 50 BMG.
Son, get it replaced...

I hope you mean "Excused" I don't think a tail light is reason enough to have him executed!! :shock:

Based on the caption in the video, the gun belongs to the old man. The truck belongs to the son from the sounds of it. They both took it in stride. No need for an execution.

Yep.

Went out shooting on our farm property a few years ago with my Brother-in-Law and nephew a while back. The nephew set up to shoot, resting his rifle on the roof of their truck. BIL advised him not to do that. It was the Voice of Experience talking! Turned out BIL had done the same thing a number of years prior, and his rifle's muzzle blast had burned a spot in the paint several inches wide.

That's good to know, Beiruty especially since only one tail light was damaged, now, had the recoil taken out the other one, it may be justified. :smilelol5:

"rlol" :smilelol5:

I'm sure that the old guy has Alzheimers. If he only had Halfheimers, he'd remember how much recoil one shot delivered, and he wouldn't have rapid fired that demon gun. Result? Surprised each time he pulled the trigger, and nervous laughter when he backed away from the gun. :mrgreen: :lol:

Replacement parts for 2nd generation ford rangers are cheap and ubiquitous. The kid is out $55.00 plus tax. Since he owns a Barrett, I'm presuming he also has a screwdriver and knows how to use it..... :roll:
