To my knowledge .50BWF is more suited for close work due to weight and ballistics or something. It loses energy faster (I think?) and gets blown around by wind and other factors that handicap its accuracy.
If you’re looking for an AR-15/M-4 pattern riffle with a caliber that’s larger/uniquer than 5.56 for the DMR mission, I’d recommend 6.5 Grendel. It’s not as optimized as 6.5 creedmoor, but it brings the benefits of a AR15/M4 pattern, with a standard magazine capacity of 26 and similar weights and setups. I don’t know if there are any militaries that use it, but you could justify it and make up your own AR15/M4 pattern platform. 6.5 Grendel usually just needs a specific magazine and upper (and barrel), but you can use the same lower as you might use for a 5.56 platform.
(I’ve had problems with feeding, but I think that was because of the gas system.)
There might be some 7.62 options too, but idk much. Definitely do some more research and find what works best.
Or, alternatively, just use 50 BWF. This is a fictional thing, just have fun with it if you want.
(I don't know much, Im just a dude who is really into American gun laws with minimal experience.)
I would not recommend .50 Beowulf as a DMR platform, allegedly it has very little range compared to other platforms, and doesn't even have the proper reach. Some numbers I saw but didn't verify said .50 Beowulf's max effective range is ~200 yards, while DMR engagements require ~500-800 yards. (also I expect you're planning to put a longer barrel and proper optic on that)
Aside from the .50 Beowulf, the others depend on your budget and logistics.
Also, I really like the attention to details on the gas block, birdcage(?), A2 grip, and basically the entire upper and lower receiver. Are you around firearms much?
@YarisHatchback because it's relatively cheap, and quirky, and it feels so much more lighter and nimble than papa or mike models or fuel injected 172s.

I totally agree, a good chunk already is suburbs, but many does not mean most. We do have massive metro/urban areas that span multiple states, but take a look at the Midwest, our bread basket states. We'll be in economic ruin and a national crisis with bodies littering the streets like roadkill if all of that is urbanized by 2030.
You have very interesting thoughts. I'd love to hear more if you want, so long as you are okay with me using it to slightly influence the project.
Basic cyber security can negate most "hackers"
may I suggest a proper complex password to the account, using secure wifi/connections, not clicking on suspicious links, proper anti-malware / spyware, keeping web browsers and systems updated, only log in on your own devices, and most of all: not using the same or similar password more than once. also don't use any personal information in a password, like your birth year or anything similar to your name/username. Just use a randomly generated password for best password security.

my image quality was so bad it looked like a whole loop on there idk
Or, more realistically, I was an idiot and didn't look closely...
my bad
That is true, but from my experience, setting it to private still shows the aircraft but just blanks out all the information fields. There are ways to get around this, though.....
Also, gimme a salt report pls, based on visual or just audible indications.
Size, Activity, Location, and times.
Also if you can tell engine count, type of engine, or even type of aircraft that would be extremely helpful. Is it always the same? Is it a helicopter? Does it come and go in a matter of a few seconds as if it is down super low like buzzing?
@Boeing727200F
hey thats cool
Im in mandatory safety stand down and department events all day Thursday and Friday too
Link an image of what you’re looking for if possible and I’ll see what I can find. Expect response from me in 4-5 days
:(
Gosh dang I’m jealous of what you can do
That angled grip is fire, and the handguard is beautiful.

Some sort of colt machine gun, I’ve seen it somewhere before but can’t remember.
Is it just called the Colt LMG?
Loving the detail on the muzzle device
Beautiful
You can't sell that, it goes against EBay's policies

I’ve got no joy either on the wiki or on current news. Could you link information/sources for me to read and flag&tag?

err
please explain, I don't quite understand

Probably nothing
can you tell me anything else? Are there military airfields nearby, or R&D sites or anything?

I will giv you fifteen dollars ($15)
