Yes. It is a sniper rifle that will dependably cut a man in half from a half mile a way. Here's an ammo comparison:
http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/3/33/300px-Rifle_cartridge_comparison.jpgIt fires the evil bastard on the far Left. Note: the .308 and 7.62 standards are on either side of Washington's head.

You can own the Model 82A1/M107 for the bargain price of only $8,650.00 by clicking HERE

You can post pictures by right clicking on them when you find one you like on line: Then Clicking "Properties" and copying the Address (Url). Hint: be sure you copy it all. Next; on your A2K composition screen, Right Click and choose paste. This will display the address of the picture. Highlight the entire address one last time; then click the button that says "Img". You can preview your post with picture by hitting Preview. Enjoy your new skill.

Ps. This tutorial is provided as something of a thank you for choosing to write in English. It is appreciated, so I thought I'd return the favor.

Well... kind a sort of.
The .50 cal rifle is used as a sniper weapon, but it's currently more of a long range counter IED, hardened target, anti-vehicle weapon.

BTW, firing this type of rifle is not real gentle on the trigger pullers eye balls.

@H2O MAN,
I have a few Ruger Revolvers:
.357 Blackhawk, .44 Magnum Super Blackhawk, n .45 Vaquero
Revolvers r mechanically reliable.

My collection consists predominantly of revolvers.
Stiff wrist or not, I 've had too many jams with automatics. An exception is
my 9mm Luger P- '08 from 1940; I imagine it had an interesting provenance.
It functions well.

For a personal defense gun, I like the .44 special Taurus Model 445
in stainless steel mirror, for better visibility in low lite.
I actually had occasion to use it defensively (display only), in the dark of nite,
a few years ago. The BGs split pretty fast. Thay did not expect an armed victim.

@OmSigDAVID,
Wheel guns won't let you down.
If only your Luger could talk...

A LEO friend of mine in Miami, FL. had a bobbed
.44 special as his back-up gun. Very nice.

Does your 445 look something like this?

Indeed thay will not

Yes; a sad tale, but probably interesting; possibly shocking.
There is visible hand wear on it.
I remember the first time I saw one:
it was in the hand of a Catholic Priest, who said: "This is a German Luger"
I was struck by the sleek lines of its configuration. I was 6 years of age.
It stayed in my memory.
Over half a century later, I sought to buy a replica of a luger
(NOT the new little .22s). My efforts were futile for a long time.
At gunstores, I was told that "everyone is looking".
Then at a local gunstore, I got it AN ORIGINAL engraved 1940
with matching serial numbers on all numbered parts. So to speak,
it just fell into my hands, very unexpectedly for a mere $600; thrilled.

It sure does; thay are BEAUTIES. I coud stare at it
(and other members of my collection) for a long time.
If u 'll pardon my boasting: I have been accosted at gunnery ranges
by shooters, including the police, commending me on the esthetics of my guns.
I got the 445 ported; recoil is not too bad.
U can get used to it.

For fun, I loaded my Super Blackhawk with alternating rounds
of .44 special and magnum, at a local gunnery range: WOW !! BIG DIFFERENCE
In my opinion, the power of .44 magnum is such as to be
only for defensive use against large, heavy animals.
For anti-personnel purposes, I deem hollowpoined .44 special to be best
to put the brakes on. Overpenetration can be dangerous
and u wanna deliver as much of the muzzle energy into the target as possible.
If I may state the obvious:
the name of the game is stopping power.

@OmSigDAVID,
The Luger is one collectible wonder nine I would like to own.
You did real well scoring the one you have.

I tried to copy Waterman 's beautiful picture of a 445
on this thread; no luck.
I did not see %20 anywhere in the URL.
Hence, I was not able to erase it, but I did not succeed in posting an image.

I love it; holding it, is like a massage for my hand; no kidding.
Georg Luger did a fine job back in 1898; he even invented the ammo for the gun.

One of my G21s

It's big, but it fits my large hands like a custom pistol and holds 14 rounds of .45 AUTO Cool

Have you figured out the picture posting thing yet?

@OCCOM BILL,
The 50 BMG cartridge is basically just an up-sized 30-06, which is a hundred year old cartridge design. There are better cartridges for long-range shooting these days.

@H2O MAN,
ADMIRABLE magazine capacity,
especially for .45 GAP


Something else that 's not too terrific about automatics
in addition to jamming, is that if u have defended your life
from criminal depredation and desire to leave the scene,
so as to save significant lawyer's fees ( i.e., to not identify yourself
to the incident) u might be leaving brass around on the ground
from which identification coud be rendered against u; not so with revolvers.

@OmSigDAVID,
> what do u have in mind?

It would depend on what you wanted to do , but there are several possibilities, all modern, and all of which make more sense than a sniper rifle using a cartridge from 1906. The ONLY thing which the BMG can halfway do which a 270 WSM can't is to penetrate some kinds of hard targets and for hard targets I'd rather have the 105mm recoilless rifle in my hands.
