87GT Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 We felt it was time to rent the S&W 500 today and boy was it fun. $60 for 20 bullets was hard but it was well worth it. This gun gave me a boner after shooting it. I know what our next purchase shall be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Ouch, $60 for 20 rounds? You could shoot a .50 BMG for about half that! Jesus! Glad you had fun. I wonder how much more recoil there is than a .50AE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Since it was a rental gun I had to buy their ammo. I have never shot a .50AE before. My wife has shot the .460 before and she says she prefers that to the 500 because it seems to kick more. She loves pain, that's my girl.

Mr. Jones Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 thought BMG rounds were 6-7 bucks a piece. And the OP payed $3/ round which is at least 50% less than the $6-7 you are quoting. Math Much ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Math Much ? i was referring to this quote./// Ouch, $60 for 20 rounds? You could shoot a .50 BMG for about half that! Jesus! Rymer said it would cost half as much to shoot a BMG than a S&W 500... i noted that it would actually be two times as much instead of half as much... logical comprehension much?

I buy literally tens of thousands of rounds per year guys, I've got as good a handle on ammo prices as anyone here. I promise. I don't know where you're looking, but normal crappy retail price on standard .50bmg rounds is about $2.50-$3.50, not even looking around too much. If you find deals they're closer to $1.25-$1.50ish, depending on what exactly you want. If you want me to get you some .50bmg ammo for $6-7/round, I will gladly buy you a couple thousand rounds TODAY. Shit, I'd be rich if I could sell shit at that markup! Thanks guys, I needed a laugh. If you want, I'll gladly sell you a few cases of .30, .45, or .22 loadings for a small fraction of that... should we say, $.50/round?:D:D Hell, I'll even load you up some M118 for $.75 each.

BloodRed Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I have rented and shot the Desert Eagle 50. No other way to explain it other than a canon! Didn't like it too much when the brass ejected and came right back and hit me right in the middle of my forehead. After a few rounds I have a nice red burn in the middle of my forehead.

RyM3rC Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Ha! Mine doesn't do that, thank goodness. Way to be a good sport. I had a p38 that would regularly shit brass all over your face. Goofy nazi gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
