Testing the Army’s Latest Weaponry.50 Browning Machine Gun, 12 gauge, Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Guns, Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier, Program Executive Office Soldier, US Army, Weapons Systems![]()
The Army’s equipment development and procurement office, Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier, was kind enough to invite Wired’s Nathan Hodge to the Aberdeen Proving Ground to test a variety of toys including the XM25 (25mm) grenade launcher, a non-lethal green laser, improved night-vision goggles, a new easily-changed (no headspace or timing adjustment needed) barrel for the ever-popular M2 .50 caliber Browning machine gun, and a Modular Accessory Shotgun system, consisting of a straight-pull bolt-action 12-gauge shotgun that can be used as a standalone weapon or as an under-barrel accessory on a rifle or carbine. The shotgun makes a useful tool for opening locked doors and is an effective close-range definitive argument as well. Let’s hope PEO Soldier adds NYM to its list of journalist invitees next time. I’m not too far from Aberdeen. 28 Sep 2007
Shooting Accident, Close Call.50 Browning Machine Gun, Armalite AR-50, Bizarre, Darwin Awards, Guns![]() MadOgre has quite a story about a chap test-firing his .50 BMG rifle.
0:41 video I don’t think anybody could have predicted that ricochet. Things happen. Some years back, I was test-firing a newly acquired 7.63 mm Broomhandle Mauser in my Connecticut basement. I used to fire from one room through a doorway into another room, using a few pieces of 2×4 lumber, backed by a 5×5 hunk of post, backed by some plywood, backed by another 5×5 post. Well, the old Mauser belched fire from the barrel and the breech, and that 7.63 mm fully-jacketed bullet sped off at over 1400 fps and proceeded to penetrate all the boards. It then bounced off several concrete walls and finally went right out one of two small basement windows in that room. I could imagine only too well what my wife would have said if I had managed to shoot myself with my own ricochet, firing pistols in the basement. Your are browsing
