@george-k said in My 50 Cal Exploded: "I'm gonna shoot a 50 cal round into a fire hydrant. What could possibly go wrong?" Granted, his...um..."experience" had nothing to do with his target, but.... Not as wild as you would think. A 30-06 AP will go through a piece of railroad steel. I've got some 7.62x39 AP, which is pretty anemic and it will bust an engine block. A .50 BMG will blow through 1/4" plate steel like hot buttah, so a fire hydrant ain't past the point of possibilities. The lock up system on his rifle is fairly robust. The point failure was how it blew up. With something like a Barrett, I would think it would fail at the locking ring, which might not blow the back of the bolt in your face (reason the 98k Mauser has a blast shield). That round was hot, hot, hot.

Public figure. Our laws in this area suck.

No cameras from nearby buildings? That seems unusual these days. Also another article said some witnesses corroborated his account. If he lifted the rifle I’d say it’s pretty clear cut. Someone lifts a gun at me and I have one you bet I am going to save my ass.

Why is it always freaking wedding cakes? You're telling me that there's that much of a lack of imagination that they can't think of another way to make the news by being denied service by a Christian hard-liner?

Was this really secret knowledge? When I heard about the brown M&M's thing that's just what I assumed regarding the reason.

Yes, but some discrimination is real 

Fragile

"Don't be evil" was always code for "don't be considered politically incorrect by American pop culture".

They're going to need to end white supremacy before they can address this symptom of it.

Just because someone is demented is no reason to treat them like they are demented. Racist

Am I the only one that didn't like it?

One of my closest surgeon friends built his own airplane (One of the Van's series - a tail dragger). He looked at the cost as well as the performance hit of having it painted. He decided to not paint.

Of course they will go back to work when the money runs dry. And of course the media won’t be held accountable for the nonsense they have been spewing on this topic.

Horrific. The remedy is clear. Remember the Stanford kid who raped an unconscious woman and got off lightly? The people eventually got the judge “retired” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Persky

If it works, it works. Anything to stay away from pain meds and the knife....
