Default Bullet Mod

Excuse for the double post, not really a mod, I shined it up good and nice though




Shined it from 220 All the way up to 2000 Grit. About 2 hours of work, and Rubbing Compound as a finish.

Its a 50 Cal Dead Round. One thing I didnt take a pic of is the back of the bullet. If you notice any bullet thats been fired, you will see Marks, which mean it has been fired. Every gun has a certain Mark. This one had a tri mark with the symbols F C and 53 at the bottom.

Note: The casing is brass, the Bullet itself is copper. Its about 5 1/2 inchs tall, in which I still cant figure out what the need of it would be...

That is one hell of a bullet..

Are you going to incorporate it into any future mods?

If it has been fired then it could be modded to a keyring bullet.

Didn't you know that large bullets are the flava flav neck-clocks of the new millenium!

Or you could get an unfired round and shoot me in the head for even considering what this guy said.

Yea Id like to see some gangsta wanna rob me with that bad boy on my chest...

I wonder if I can etch something into it...

Nah, Wasnt that hard, took 2 hours or so, but It was worth it. The sanding wasnt too hard though, but the higher grits I had to really press down hard to use the paper up.

The need for a round like that is for BAGGIN a 10point at 2000 yards I.E. i used to hunt from my front porch in West Virginia with a 7mm ruger mag. *left handed* 600yrd range was just enuff ta hit the ridge line up the other side of the holler. . With that round i could hunt from my porch and bag a buck in the next county. LOL

mmm yes the 50 cal right, stories of vietnam uses and desert storm using the old ma duece (m2 machine gun mounted on tanks humvees etc) and a scope and shotting targets at a mile or 2 out. heck of a drop, but they are deadly. best bullet for taking on anything that better not survive. bear hippos lion etc. or humans if one is at war. though a serious beast to shoot

definatly loud

According to the Geneva convention, those rounds can only be used to shoot at enemy equipment since they are so devastating. A near miss could tear a guys shoulder out of socket. That's why we learned only to aim for enemy equipment with the M2. You know; helmet, LBE, top left uniform breast pocket...

best one has to be the barrett 50 cal semi auto snipers, sucker are used to stop vehicle pursuits, though the cops had to stop using them after hitting the car engine and passing clean through to the cops car racing next to it. that was funny ****. though seriously the 50 cal is bout the deadlist weapon ever carried into combat as it packs the biggest hit and is effective against airplane, light armor, troops equip hell even artillery, if it moves, or breathes and is anti american theres a 50 cal round for that
