Did not notice this the first time I seen this pic. Right in front of the magazine housing. Little bit of flame escaping. Pretty cool.
Letting loose on a .50 cal round is one eye opening experience.

Isnt that an ejected case getting motion blur?

Barrett .50 is bolt action. The cartridge will eject when he opens the bolt to chamber the next round.

When the drama started I told my wife that the pirates were dead men; they just didn't know it. The SEALS were going to take them out in a sudden, violent fashion.
If I'm ever in a bar with some SEALS, I won't let them pay for a drink.

Isnt that a M82, which is semi-auto not bolt action?

the one pictured is an M-82(USN)/M-107(US Army). It is a semi-automatic weapon. Probably the worst man portable weapon on earth to hump.

That picture is of a Barret M107, which is a semi-automatic. I do believe the blur is a spent casing. The Barret M95 is a magazine-fed bolt action and the M99 is a single-shot bolt action.

The specified maximum diameter of an unfired .50 BMG bullet is 0.510-inch (13.0 mm); while this appears to be over the .50 inch (12.7 mm) maximum allowed for non-sporting Title I small arms under the U.S. National Firearms Act, the barrel of a .50 BMG rifle is only 0.50 inches (13 mm) across the rifling lands, and slightly larger in the grooves. The oversized bullet is formed to the bore size upon firing, forming a tight seal and engaging the rifling, a mechanism which in firearms terms is known as engraving. Subject to political controversy due to the great power of the cartridge (it is the most powerful commonly available cartridge not considered a destructive device under the National Firearms Act), it remains popular among long-range shooters for its accuracy and external ballistics.

Wow, thanks, i never knew the 12.7mm is actually 13mm. This is actually pretty common, very few calibers are the actual size that they're advertised at.

Still, the correct nomenclature is 12.7mm NATO or .50BMG.

.51cal refers to the Soviet/Russian 14.5mm HMG round.

Unless they _want_ to pay for a drink. In which case, I will quietly agree. Bad business, disagreeing with those guys. ;)
