How NOT to shoot a 50 BMG Rifle

A short lesson in what muzzle blast from a big gun with a muzzle brake looks like. Or, how to kill your lunch and chips, in 4 rounds :D

Too funny. I had a AK-74 style muzzle break on my Norinco 56s (semi AKM) and was irritating some black powder shooters for the same reason as the video shows. I was impressed in a way; a carbine .50 cal BMG. I immediately thought of CQB with that... just sticking the muzzle in a doorway to any room and touching a round off would act as a flash-bang in it's own right.
Ahhh... to have more money than brains.

For the price of that one rifle I could equip a small milita with AK's and enough ammo to survive a zombie apocalypse.

Much better to have a staged safety demonstration video than a real impromptu one.
