I think I need a better job!

Where can you get a .50BMG cartridge for 50cent? They are $4 to $6 a pop.

you left out a zero, it's $15.000.

tru dat ... nor is it a BMG

... of course with a barrel life of 100,000 rounds the m134 also needs a new barrel every 33 minutes

Dang, I read .50 (BMG) instead 50cent. Sorry.

One day, someone will get 8x .50 Calibre Machine guns, mount them like they were in the P-47 and shoot at some metal equivalent to a 109 or 323, and see just what damage it can do.

Now that would be interesting to see!
