.50 Cal

i figured i should put in a little info about the .50 cal to help explain the post below this one. the .50 cal is technically labled a "gianormous machine gun" (actually, it's official name is M2, pronounced Ma Duce). if you take the weapon and stand it up on it's end, it is almost as tall as i am. the full cartridge (the casing that holds the bullet, gunpowder and primer) is a little over 5 inches long. the name .50 cal comes from the size of the rounds it uses (.50 caliber), but i'm sure that means almost nothing to most of you. i don't know how caliber relates to inches (don?) and haven't done any messurements, but suffice it to say if someone gets hit with one of these rounds it doesn't matter if it happens while he's standing outside the worlds best emergency room, he'd be very lucky to come out whole.

i'm probably being a bit dramatic. just remember "gianormous machine gun."
