I just did a little research on the AR50. Does Armalite actually send Tylenol with each gun?  That's too funny!Sorry if I'm acting like a total noob..... |
| Oddly enough, I was about to ask a question regarding the .50's blast/headache association... While discussing my pending purchase of a Barrett 82A1, my friend, who has shot several .50 bolt guns, told me that the rifles do in fact give you a pretty serious headache after five or six rounds, regardless of what type of ear protection, etc. is used. He said the recoil was negligable considering the size of the round, but that the muzzle blast and shockwave produced was quite unpleasant. Can anyone confirm or deny their experiences with this? |

I have put 20 rounds through my friend's Serbu BFG50 in about 20 minutes when he sighted in his scope and had no headache. The muzzle blast is not bad for the shooter.....just don't stand beside someone shooting a .50 The blast will blow your hat off your head if you are standing in the wrong spot. I use ear plugs and muffs when shooting the .50. Never had a headache. YMMV |
