this is a 50 cal. and 30.06,all the 50 has to do is get close to you to do some serious damage.

It's been done. Look at my post in the 'intended' thread.Originally posted by bnoles

This is good to know..... I was afraid you were going to make a pen out of that thing.... [8D]
YIKES!
I saw a site a while back that had 50 cal pens for sale. They were not powder coated, used inexpensive BIC refills and could not be retracted.Originally posted by dfurlano
<br />Someone sells these as pens on the internet. I think they tried and applied for a patent.

<br />Someone just sent me a pic of a US Sniper in Iraq that got someone who was trying to sneak with a vest on that had plastic explosives he used the Barrett .50 cal sniper rifle & took him out with a head shot at 1,500 yards. Dam that is one powerful weapon. Go ahead reach out & touch someone[]

Shannon: That's what I figured. I asked the original question as I didn't understand why a head shot was being taken instead of the higher probability body shot? In rereading the original post, I see the vest being referred to was probably an explosive vest rather than a protective vest; but nontheless, why headshots.....or was it a body shot that missed??
