Now we're talking!! 2000m is as close as I would like to be to the enemy :D

12.7mm, is this is fairly close to the 50bmg round?

How accurate can you get with this compared to the 50bmg?

Thanks for the info. This one should be in the collection with the rest:p

Are their any semi-mass produced 14.5mm sniper rifles? I am aware there are some custom jobs out there. I origionally thought the V-94 was chambered for this round.

I figure the 12.7 is roughly simmilar to the .50 BMG

The 14.5 is quite a bit larger. It fires a 994 grain bullet!
