1. Were they using the runway as a range? Was there a high-ranking politician present? Because sometimes airspace is shut down as part of their security.

2. The muzzle blast from one of those things can tear the wings right off a passing airliner, right? I mean, it literally blows away everyone on the firing line, doesn’t it? They all wind up piled in heaps at the sides of the range?
   I’m sure I saw this in a movie somewhere. Or a YouTube vid, or something. Maybe a comic book. Anyway, it’s definitely true. The FX department would never lie to us!

   1. Depending the muzzle brake, even a 5.56 can be pretty obnoxious if you’re in the next bay … especially in an indoor range.

      It’s an excellent experience to convince people suppressors should be widely available, cheap, and in common use, imo.

      1. Anecdote: strange eons ago, I was out at the range trying out a Hakim – big clunker with a muzzle brake that did an excellent job of turning recoil into noise, insofar as such a heavy beast in 8×57 can be said to have recoil in the first place.
         After a few shots, a range official stopped by to point out that every time I fired the thing my GF (at the next bench, with a .22) was bouncing a foot in the air. She never did let me take it to the range again.

   1. It will at least clean your sinuses! 😀

6. At more than six times the lung-blowing power of the 9mm, the .50 cal will actually swap yours with the guy next to you.
