Future Weapons explores the extremely long range and high impact of the Barrett 50 cal sniper rifle. Some of these shots are over a mile away and dead on, insane skill warning!

I hate this show and it's stupidly annoying presenter. The presentation is just so gauche.

one of those rounds can easily blow off a limb... heinous.

About 20 minutes into the Miami Vice remake from last summer there is a pretty insane, and realistic, example of the kind of damage one of these rifles can do.

I agree that the presenter is trying a bit too hard to be "Extreeeeme," but nevertheless, it's a pretty cool segment.

I think I have an M95 in Battlefield 2. It's nice for shooting through cockpit glass.

If you're interested in sniper rifles you should see the movie Shooter. It's amazing how accurate the rifles can be.

Current sniper record is with a .50 cal by a Canadian sniper in Afghanistan IIRC. Headshot kill at 2.8 miles.

He can't help but be extreme. He was a Navy SEAL for 10 years and has 25+ years of training in several of the more brutal martial arts (muay thai, Jeet Kune Do, aikido, jujitsu, savate, arnis).

That's over 35 years of programming/brainwashing. You'd be pretty extreme too.

Makes me wonder if he can still enjoy everyday life or if everything is a combat situation in his mind.

Hate this host so much. Why is the Barrett even on their "future" weapons show? Hasn't it been around for a while?

.50 cal bullets are amazingly huge though.

OK, not 2.8 miles, but 2400 metres

Yeah baldie is playing it very hammy but I thought that was par for the course with these macho weapon shows.

I wish they would have shown the whole clip where they go about shooting through metal plates at over a miles distance.

That's not an excuse, if anything most people with that kind of experience have the opposite kind of mentality. Actually, I didn't think the host was that bad compared to others, but he's playing up a bit of the "XTREME KOMBAT" angle up because the Discovery Channel producers think their military shows will be more successful if they go over the top and pander to the lowest common denominator, and damn them, they're right. Oh, and aikido is not a brutal martial art in any sense of the phrase.

"Yeah, I know. I was being sarcastic."

Well now, I guess my sarcasm detector is broken, my apologies.

That's a funky little quote thing you've got going on there. Did you hand format that or did I miss the intro of a new feature?

It really comes off as pro-military propaganda. I do love this show, watch it whenever I get the chance, but the tone is very aggravating, almost celebrating our imperialism excessive pageantry. "Look at how awesomely unstopable we are! We've got laser guided guns that shoot other guns at you that shoot rocket powered chainsaws! America! FUCK YEAH!"

Yeah.

Cronyx, I hear ya. It's a little disturbing to see people celebrating power so enthusiastically, but how can you avoid it?

Is that the gun that Marky Mark uses in Shooter?

Nope, manual code. I'll demonstrate using square brackets to keep it from rendering:

Pretty basic code, really.

Ah, mmk, thanks Overcast. I was under the impression that the site only allowed bold, italic, and underline in comments, but meh. So much for non-deprecated tags, eh?
