Last night on CNN they showed .50cal rifles

i was watching CNN and they showed the devastating power of the .50cal rifles. They were talking about how easily someone can get a hold of one if they have 25thousand dollars and how a terrorist in america could use it against airplanes. So the guy from CNN went on a website and met up with a guy to buy his private .50cal rifle. So he got the rifle and they were testing it out on airplane windows, it went through it like it was butter, then they added a 1inch stainless steel plate behind the window and it also went through that easily.

When the bullet was fired you could see the tremendous kick on the person, he moved a couple inches back everytime he shot.

Apperatly the rifle also has a range of 1000 yards and becouse of this little documentary the state of california banned the .50 rifles.

yup just like my video anyone can get a berret 50.cal with 20,000$ and a i.d.but in war those things really help out and they are anti tank rifles so it would pass through like nothing but i dont think they are allowed to use them on people something like the geneva law or sum shit i dunno but they are badass i saw one get fired at domond d(gun range in jacksonville) and the guy had shot it 10 times he fuken broke a cinder block in 2 no lie

If you hit it a single engine plane in the motor then it would bring it down....or just shoot at the fuel tanks in the wings...

EDIT: low flying planes this would work for

Sad thing is, you could do it, with a lesser weapon. If the plane was low enough, a 30.06 would go thru.
