M82A1 Demonstrated Without PSH
Take a gander over back at my home site for a good introduction by the Marines to the Barrett M82A1 .50 caliber sniper rifle, without all the pants shitting hysterics we keep hearing from the anti-gun crowd about how the rifle is great for blowing up schools buses, setting fire to entire villages, or is responsible for causing widespread famine in Africa.

Bah. I prefer the PSH. Gives a good excuse to use my icon.

Sweet! I want one.
BTW, at risk of sounding like a knucklehead, what’s a PSH?

PSH = Pant Shitting Hysterics
We even have an icon now.

That video actually has a sinister history. It was commissioned in 1999 by then-Representative Rod Blagojevich (now governor of Illinois) and Representative Henry Waxman in order to promote anti-.50 legislation.

What they were trying to accomplish that year was this:

All that they were able to accomplish, thankfully, was defunding of DoD sales of surplus 50-cal armor-piercing ammunition thru September 30th, 2001:

That’s really good information. I wasn’t aware of the history there. Interestingly enough, I’m pretty sure HEIAP ammunition has never been available to civilians. It was the API stuff they desurplussed, which was the stuff that didn’t penetrate that well.
