The smallest round in the pic is the "little" .50! It's a black tip or AP (armor piercing) projectile load. The slightly bigger round next to it is a 20mm AP round (blue tip). The big daddy in the crowd is a 40MM L/70 round with an anti-aircraft explosive (now inert) projectile resting on top.

These make the 50 BMG look little in comparison!

The gun does break down, to fit in a safe (fits in mine together!) or the case. I don't normally store it with the glass on top as one mistake can cost a bunch of money!

The glass is a Leupold 8.5-20 x 50mm

I can keep groups in under 4" all day long at 600 yards. This is the furthest I can shoot, at a range, around here. Most descent .50's are capable of this at 1000 yards. (not necessarily the shooters!)

One of hardest parts of great distance shooting is the optics. The thickness of the cross-hairs can cover 4" at 1000 yards!
