Right...you can't shoot it well, so it's a stupid gun? Who's afraid of what?
Are Airbus aircraft stupid because you can't fly them? Square rigged ships stupid because you can't sail them?
Get a grip. That'll help with your shooting, too.
+1. My wife is an occupational health and safety consultant, mainly working with the US and Canadian militaries ....she gets involved with a lot of CARC issues at government contractor plants. I really worry about folks buying a mil-spec vehicle and deciding to sand the CARC off. Applying it...
It depends on the country, but usually you have to request a license from the country. The US and Canada have automatic reciprocity, but I think thats rare. When I was living in the Caribbean I had to get a license from there, and when I go to Africa on charity trips I'm supposed to get one...
The M416A1 models had the inertial brake controller. I've never actually seen one in person, though. Brakes in a 1000 lb trailer aren't requried anywhere I've lived.
With that big honking landing wheel and the inertial brake box on the tongue it looks a bit like an M105-similar trailer, used usually on 2.5 and 5 ton trucks...about the right size, too. Generally rated at 1.5 tons off-road capacity, around 3.5 tons on-road.
Certainly originally military, but...
The boulder was about 40' across and 30' high. The laser said it was 1710 meters away, and it took me two shots to hit it - the first was a bit low and way to the right. It did knock a good sized piece of the rock out. This was on a friends ranch in Hot Springs, Mt.
One problem with a very...
I've fired my Barrett from the shoulder. Hit what I was aiming at (kind of) :), a large boulder about a mile away.
It's not the most accurate way to shoot it, but it can be done. And the muzzle blast is less apparent to people nearby since it doesn't reflect off the ground.
The 20mm weighs...
The .460 Weatherby is powerful, all right...but nowhere near the most powerful shoulder-fired.
I think this one takes that prize:

A standard (non-explosive) round has some 39,500 or 40,000 ft-lbs of energy. The Weatherby? around 8100...
Neat trick, I never thought of doing that.
Here's a link to some documentation:

And here is some more info on the trailer series. The main difference in revisions seem to be the wheel size, based on the current prime...
I've seen people shot with everything from .177 caliber air gun pellets to (unfortunately) 20mm cannon shells. Note: If I see them it generally means they survived their initial wounds - otherwise they would have been pronounced at the scene and the coroner would get them.
There is nothing...
