Quite interesting rifle. Never seen one before.

What Make/Model of rifle is that?

It looks like the Barret .50 cal.sniper rifle that can take out a target from over a mile out, with the target never hearing a sound until the round strikes, or, should I say, explodes, splattering the target into little bitty pieces.

Go to youtube and watch it in action. Impressive weapon.

Its the Barrett LIGHT .50. Originally designed not as anti personnel but for taking out things like small radar dishes
and vehicles from afar. not sure if its anti personnel now.

Since the day in Dallas when JFK was murdered in a coup de tat the Federal government has seemed to be rougue and illegitimate.Solve that murder in the Public domain and you regain America,fail to do exactly that and you lose whats left of her.An open public trial that followed real facts and evidence would lead to the issuance of thousands of criminal warrants in the name of national Security and the seizure or hundreds of billions of dollars of global assets held by those involved in the coup de tat by proxy..America could regain her integrity and her economy and correct history all in one fell swoop,it will have to be a battle to regain an entire country,

As far as complete civil wars or the federal government challenging the American people enmasse,ha ha ha,it will never happen,if you broadcast a citywide call to arms in a city like Dallas and requested all standing people with guns legal or illegal muster at city hall you would mave a massive standing army in hours,same in every major American city,no government has the forces to challenge this firepower,I mean NATIONS couldnt challenge this type if instant standing army.

There are some neat youtube clips of snipers in Afghanistan using them on Taliban.

From what I understand, the Barrett .50 cal is now the standard anti-personel sniper rifle. I could be wrong on it being standard issue for snipers though. But it is used considerably for that purpose to be sure.

I think there is an optional silencer for suppressing the local sound of the round being fired.

Well, at some point, there is a difference between idealism and reality but at least Jefferson was trying. Our dear "representatives" today don't even care about trying to maintain the spirit of the founders. And in fact, most of them have done everything in their power to cause the government to go down an incremental path to tyranny.

it is not a holy document, it was meant to change with the times

So what is the difference if we're talking about gun control? If someone had a cannon in those days, they could have killed a lot of people with one shot. I have no idea if anyone ever did something like that but it could have happened. I don't recall ever seeing that people were not allowed to have cannons in the era the founders lived in. It appears that ordinary people were only limited by what they could afford. The modern equivalent would be something like having a tank.

An AR-15 is relatively puny compared to just about anything the modern military has. To suggest the existence of the AR-15 is such a drastic change in the times that the Constitution needs to be changed because of it is really a pretty obvious lie. (I'm not accusing you of lying but many have suggested the reason the 2A should be changed is because times have changed).

No the military is still using the same platform.

I grew up shooting and hunting with a .303 British,it was and is the best gun I ever fired,and more than capable at all three core ranges,close-intermediate-and long range,and it carries a whallop.I used it on Coyotes,Deer,Moose ect from age ten till past 40 and it was perfect all round for that entire time,no kidding,tough as nails and very consistant and reliable.The darn shells are expensive,although at my age and level of involvment its irrellevant but back then it hurt to play around to much unless you enjoyed snaring Coyotes and skinning them smelly buggers for a few bucks.There are a lot of high performance guns hanging aroind if you know what you are looking for,my gun has its original sights and I hit many a long looper that you wouldnt believe,I dont know yardage but I know it shot to sight because as far as I could see a target I could hit it with that gun and many were looping and at the edge of the sights and my eyesights capabilitys,with a scope that gun would be formidable.Maybe someone knows its maximum range with a scope,I am low tech dinosaur when it comes to technicalities,if it works and feels right--a lot of feels right--then I use it like a tool and dont get to involved,no self repairs or anything complicated.Al I really used that had any decent pop were the British and a 308 for my last few years of hunting.By the looks of the .50 guns available today and the accesories any determined shooter could become fairly proficient in very short order.

Growing up I had a WWII vintage Mauser 9mm rifle I used for hunting deer and black bear. I loved the balance and minimal recoil, as well as accuracy. I wish I still had it.
