Homebrewed .50 Cal Captured From ISIS in Iraq - The Truth About Guns

It just goes to show you that you can not outlaw guns because at some point someone will make one. If an ISIS "genius" can come up this .50 Cal, than any "Red Neck" with a machine shop here in America can as well....and probably better looking as well as functional.

Alan K. "Those who want to outlaw .50 BMG in the United States should take notice." This line applies across the board to firearms. For those who think that banning guns, even if (and I don't believe for a second that it is) it was possible to remove every firearm from every non military/police/government entity, would actually make guns go away, they are delusional. Guns are not going away. This ingenious solution to the need for a sniper rifle by ISIL shows that people with a need, a will, and a little resourcefulness will figure out a solution. Then again modern weapons now are a result of taking what was done before, and building on it. From the discovery of gunpowder to modern firearms is all just a matter of building on those who came before. Of course now the focus is on efficiency, ballistics, and accuracy as opposed to the problems of the past. Thanks for sharing this. It made both nauseated and impressed at the same time.

Interesting work. Not going to win a beauty show, but looks to be functional.
