Why didn't they ever make hollow point/flat nose/EPR (think M855A1/M80A1) 50 cal rounds? - /k/ (#63857610) [Archived: 958 hours ago]

It's been used for all sorts or roles, from anti-armor/aircraft to shooting infantry (or by some hunters for big animals). However, 50 cal isn't designed for soft tissue terminal performance. It usually goes through the target, without significantly dumping energy. It kills because it's still 50 cal but doesn't really use all of its energy.

Are you retarded? Have you ever seen what 50 cal does to a human body? Even if it grazes your arm, you can say goodbye to that extremity.
There is absolutely 0 use case for making hollowpoints for them

Cause hollow points a fucking meme on anything that's not pistol caliber or 22lr.
HP is like putting spikes on a cars bumper. Those spikes would make a difference in being lethal or not if that car hit someone at 25 mph.
Meanwhile 50cal is a train. Spikes or no spikes your dead when you get hit by a train.

It still does kill you pretty well. BUT it just goes through, it doesn't energy dump like 5.56 for instance

Yes well it also kills even if you're behind most cover, so there's that. It's very rare that you have a clear shot against someone. The 50 cal is there so you dump it across a whole floor and turn everything inside into swiss cheese

Probably because there's no point. 50 was originally designed for the m2. If you want big bore caliber with a cartridge designed for flesh, elephant guns exist.

I have such a seething hatred for “sport” hunters. There is no sportsmanship involved in aiming a gun and firing. There is no chance involved. When you set out on a hunt, your chances of getting a kill are equal to your chances of encountering the game animal, which your tour guide ensures you will. It’s all so very gay. “Durrr this is what our ancestors did” yeah, with spears, nigger.

>”but Muh conservation!”

Sounds like you should kill the poachers instead. All life in Africa is in ecological equilibrium, nothing is under any danger of imminent, non-man-made extinction.

Fuck trophy hunters.

>>63858006
Wait until you hear about “monkey hate”. People do this to people too. Rabid Leftists will call you a Nazi and then orgiastically crack you over the head with a bike lock, and self-proclaimed pedo hunters (bloodthirsty lunatics) will call you a pedo and smash a pumpkin on your skull.

observing people over the past decade, especially people in mobs or with mob support, I’ve come to the conclusion that killing, but in good conscience, to the sound of applause, is like heroin to my nigger species.

Mods don’t ban me, my post is about killing, which is extremely weapons related.

technically you can and even authorized to do so as long you cooperate with park rangers, the problem is when you do it too hard the local gov't arrest you and put you in jail until they are bored of you because the chinese paid them to do so.

If you don't already, get a decent bipod instead of using a bag or other rest. A bipod with rubber feet will help absorb a decent amount of recoil in my experience.

all poachers in africa that hunt rhinos and elephants work for chineses and they are well supplied for the task, no i'm talking about the rag tag bunch with a bolt action rifle, i'm talking full fledged party with AKs in full auto and pick up trucks, the chinks will pay prenium for ivory dust because "it make your dick hard"
/k/ already tried to make an anti poacher group a long time ago and colaborate with park rangers, the rangers were all good with it but at one condition, no a single person would be able to carry a gun.
so it was your ass with some binocs, a handfull of rangers against potentially a group of dude ready to shoot back to avoid jail time.
So if you want to go do anti-poaching with guns you either have VERY good friends in good places or you better shut the fuck up and hide from everyone

You can try a suppressor if that’s doable, they’re not as effective but do help somewhat.

Pssh faggot. Also I love slaughter, death, and murder in general so hard cheese. And the sport comes from making the cleanest kill possible, I've shot probably 300 deer in the neck not because it spares the animal any suffering but simply because it is a difficult shot. I can only assume you are an urbanite or yuropoor if you think that billy joe bob and bob joe billy aren't out their just to kill shit but do so at every opportunity: bows, muzzleloaders, rifles, even tannerite for hogs. I haven't had to buy meat for years.

>All life in Africa is in ecological equilibrium
Actually it's more that blacks slaughtered the carefully conserved populations the instant the whites left thus the current populations are denuded and the only way to raise sufficient money to keep poachers out is to have rich white guys or chinks come over a shoot something at wildly inflated prices or get a bunch of stupid libtards to go halfway around the world to gawk at some animals ass as it takes a shit.

In an ideal world all browns would be gone thereby providing ample land to indulge in hunting

Chinks are the most superstitious fuckers in the world, they have modern medicine from the west which works by they still do this faggy chi shit for everything from the flu to poor peepee performance. The latter is funny because we have shit over the counter which will make you dangerously hard, as in unable to lose the boner, yet they still want keratin from a fucking rhino instead of viagra. It isn't just a few quacks either like you find anywhere, they all believe it.

It was ripping organs out the backsides of those animals so I would say it's dumping a significant amount of energy. More than 5.56, but maybe less energy as a percentage of it's total energy.

There absolutely are 50bmg hollow points and expanding ammunition, it's just an infinitely small market because the 50 is already hyper niche for civilians and is already more than sufficient to take any game that walks the earth with ordinary ball ammo.

All Chinese still privately believe that whites are a kind of ghost demon that is closely related to talking dogs and other such mythological creatures, and not the same species as humans (humans are only Chinese) at all.

That's why they call you Guai Lo, like talking bears are Guai Yao, etc. White colored (non human demon race).

At least when whites and japs say they are racially superior they are materially correct, when everybody else does it it's just pathetic. There also might be an issue with the Chinks calling every slant in China "Han" so they lump SEAmonkeys in with steppe raiders whose populations do tend to have a mean IQ over 100. Something about being barbs on the sea of grass just makes you better than everybody else.

Hunting for meat is not the same as trophy hunting charismatic megafauna you nigger

> And the sport comes from making the cleanest kill possible

No it doesn’t because you could equally do that with a regular target on a flat range, then pay yourself on the back. Face it, killing has become very trivial.

>Also I love slaughter, death, and murder in general

Yeah, it comes as no surprise to me anymore. This is most people. Billions must die, yourself included. You’re an apex predator already, no need to suck your own dick over it. Some magnanimity is in order.

> Actually it's more that blacks slaughtered the carefully conserved populations

Hah, yeah, that’s what I said. “Poachers could be here,” he thought. “I hate poachers”

This kinda sounds like the Africans are again weaponizing the good nature of whites and threatening to extinct these creatures unless we give them money. Sounds like we should colonize Africa, if for no other reason than to end this hostage situation with its animals. Either that or confiscate all weapons on that continent that require greater than stone-age technology to produce, so they no longer have the capacity to extinct any species even if they wanted.

There is no one spoken "Chinese" language. Cantonese, which gweilou is from, is a minority language in China. The majority language, if such a thing exists, is Mandarin and the word for westerner in it is laowai (lit "old foreigner"). What you're saying is identical to thinking that Germans believe all Chinese are comedians because some Americans call Vietnamese people Charlie.

IQ is a measure of intelligence relative to a population average, so yes, but it's not very meaningful on its own. IQ is designed to be unable to tell you how smart people absolutely are, just how smart they are compared to a current average. And by smart, I mean able in a pretty whacky test.

"""Cops""" in Africa listen to where the money comes from. That's the difference between "justified and righteous poacher killing" and you being a madman that gets labeled an enemy of the state.
On one side you have China's billion dollar lust to snort the powdered parts of exotic animals, on the other you have however much money your conservation effort commands. Most of that money comes from allowing a small number of canned hunts to foreigners.
