An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

    [:D] Bet there is still enough energy to take an insurgent down.

    I looked at some ammo a while back, and I can't recall exactly what caliber it was, but it was over $200 a box sitting on the shelf. Wasn't .50 caliber, and I want to say it was .416, maybe. Gotta pay to play, I guess.[:0]

    Looked like it barely chipped the paint on the target.

    Geeez,,, u guys got to be kidding

    This sounds like me shooting my air pistol.
    I have a hell of a time hitting that 10 ring at 5 meters in my basement.

    My wife sits there for 6 months calling shots and one time after hundreds of shots I hit the 10 and she come over and shakes my hand.

    Give me a break!!!

    To get a 350 grain .375" bullet going 3200 fps in a fairly short barrel (less than 3') they must be running some pretty severe pressures.

    He shot 18 times before he hit it. What is the big deal? Why is this a record?

    I just posted it in fun, thinking it was interesting. Sorry.[:I] Maybe they did it for no other reason than to say they did, and could. I'm sure there's someone out there that could do it with the first shot, and a cold barrel......
