"An expert SAS sniper took out three ISIS bombers by shooting through a 10inch wall, from a kilometre away with the world's most powerful rifle.

The marksman, considered one of the best in the special forces, fired 30 armour-piercing rounds from his Barrett Light .50 calibre rifle into a two-storey command post in the city of Ramadi in Iraq.

The daring and skillfully executed mission which was called a 'classic SAS operation' saved the lives of around 20 people according to military sources.

I don't understand why they say "The world's most powerful rifle" - surely it's the world's most powerful bullet?

The tip of the bullet is probably made of uranium depleted material.

According to wiki we have the Barrett Light .50, designated M82 in Australia.

My mate is sure to add one to his 30+ collection

Deaf through hearing damage due to shooting without hearing protection!

Cant afford a hearing aid because they are a rip off ...  "who wants to pay $1500 for a bloody little amplifier"

Err what did you say ?

"No I am not wasting my money on a bloody little amplifier! that cost about two dollars to make";

Err what did you say ? Look towards me when speaking!

An Hour Later:
Kids say:  "Dad  what are you yelling for has Uncle ? been around?"
Me: "Sorry guys!"

Dear BigOl,

I know you are proud of the old F111s but they
are gone & we have newer replacements
with less long range capability.

And it was with great sadness that I stated "We used to."


Iron bombs, TV and laser guided

Up until the mid 80's, nuclear weapons capable

2000 round of 20mm HE

Sidewinders

Karinga Cluster Bombs


The most lethal weapon in the southern hemisphere and everyone knew it.  :)

Well BigOl - would you settle for a Barrett Light .50?

wow, that packs a punch.
And I know nothing about guns.

And then whatever happened to Metal Storm that was invented by an Australian fiddling in his backyard shed?

It's never in the news.

Good -

In South Africa it's legal for women to carry Pressure-Paks of Mace in their handbags.

I doubt it. They want stuff that sprays bullets everywhere. That way they might hit the target.
