14. Someone explain to me
How a 50 cal would be a greater threat than say, a 300 weatherby or winchester, or an ultramag in taking down ANYTHING with the right shot? We're not talking about a huge distance factor here, maybe a difference of 200 yards effectively to peirce ANYTHING other than heavy armor. 338? Even less.

But aside from that, I sincerely doubt that if your goal was to blow up a helicopter or rail car, a terrorist would choose a rifle to do the job. But maybe "I" am lacking the experience in these matters :eyes:

Once again, we see the gun controllers peering over the top of the slippery slope. Im truly amazed how little knowledge they actually have yet, they purport to be such experts in these matters.
