    A Barrett 50 caliber can shoot 600 bullets a minute ...

    Of course the guy firing it has to be extremely fast at working the bolt.
    Count me out, I couldn't do it. It must be extremely noisy.

    And people snorted when I pointed out that the UK copy writers in these links are clearly anti-gun.

    Thanks DT for the evidence backing up my point. Owe you one, buddy!

      It's more anti intelligence than anti gun.

      Their grammar is abysmal and they never bother proof reading
      before going to print.

          Reporters mangle it.
          American reporters are just as bad,
          Remember when all of them were saying "irregardless"
          I guess the term double negative was unknown to them.

            The magazine holds ten rounds. To shoot 600 rounds a minute, the user would have to empty and then change the magazine every second. Maybe a magician could do it but not anybody else

              The brits are pretty big on telling you everything about everything with illustrated books. I saw one that told us all about guns -- there was a picture of an M1911, and we were informed it had a "handle clip." There was an arrow pointing to the tip of the grip safety labeled "Firing pin."

                Jerry Miculek could probably manage the trigger on the M82a1,

                mag changes are easy, but don't think he can get that fast

                  Lyman learns a new word today.

                  boldly rude, impudent, or disrespectful in usually a playful or appealing way… See the full definition
