I was thinking the dynamite might be great for fishing...as the explosion would surely gut, cook and portion them into bite size!

It'll be quite a scary thought that some military nut job from as far as Illinios or Ohio can kill a Hoosier with one single shot. And almost all soldiers aren't like the psychos portrayed in our media. I just hope one of the kooks gets their itchy little fingers on a weapon like that.

Some hunter in New Jersey could kill deer in Eastern Pennsylvania with that thing....all they'd have to do is get close enough to point the thing across the Delaware River....the best place would be the Delaware Water Gap in Northern NJ...some unlucky buck in the Poconos would be deer meat.. :D :P

God forbid any white supremacist or patriot militia nuts get hold of the thing.....

I wonder if someday GANG members will be able to get it on the black market...

The thought freaks me out of either getting hold of a supergun like that.

What?  You mean it is more appropriate to be shot with a rifle at 100 yards, or point blank with a pistol?

The hype and paranoia surrounding the .50 caliber rifle is amazing.  Gang members can buy ANY KIND of gun today, including the .50.  Annd they buy ILLEGAL weapons like full machine guns too.

Finally, there are other rifles with much more "punch" than the .50 anyway.  Generally speaking the .50 is a anti-materiel weapon.  True, it can kill a man at 2000 meters, but this is more luck than skill or weapon capability.  The accuracy of the projectile gets really flaky past, say, 1000 meters.

that is NOT what I mean...all guns are EVIL in the wrong hands..
The hype and paranoia surrounding the .50 caliber rifle is amazing.  Gang members can buy ANY KIND of gun today, including the .50.  Annd they buy ILLEGAL weapons like full machine guns too.and they are used to KILL anyone,be it police,FBI,members of rival gangs, gang members who 'rat out' to the police AND their ENTIRE family,and last but not least ANY innocent bystander who gets in their way..even CHILDREN. Gang members have NO MORALS or CONSCIENCE whatsoever!

Finally, there are other rifles with much more "punch" than the .50 anyway.  Generally speaking the .50 is a anti-materiel weapon.  True, it can kill a man at 2000 meters, but this is more luck than skill or weapon capability.  The accuracy of the projectile gets really flaky past, say, 1000 meters.
Any weapon,in the hands of the criminal elements of our society,can easily be LETHAL..ever see the mess and carnage after a gang shootout?
