    Default .950 JDJ Rifle.

    1. Why?
    2. You'd figure they would put a better scope on the damn thing and...
    3. I want to see the impacts.

    1. Because one day, maybe Chuck Norris might need help to save the earth.
    2. The target that needs that rifle, is big enough to see without a scope.
    3. The impacts are the size of a dinner-plate and can be seen from the moon without a telescope.

    Total insanity. That is not a rifle, that is an artillery piece. It has absolutely no practical use that I can see. If they really do want to make this somewhat practical, then they need some type of recoil buffer.

    What can it do that the .50 BMG cannot?

    1. Why?
    - Because some people need to impress their buddies at the range, and buying the .950 means, as far as I understand, that you basically own a Destructive Device without needing to jump through all those hoops

    2. You'd figure they would put a better scope on the damn thing and...
    - Why put a good (indeed any) scope on it? It will be rattled into its constituent parts after five shots!

    3. I want to see the impacts.
    - Ditto. Apparently it shoots bronze rather than lead projectiles, it'd be fun to see (from behind cover) the effect on, say, a concrete block.

    1- Because if the dead rise from their graves during the zombie apocalypse, those living next to the La Brea tar pits might see have to deal with dinosaurs.
    2- you don't need a scope. If it is anywhere down range the damn blast would kill it.
    3- No impact. Anything hit by that thing ceases to exist.
    Guns don't kill people. Husbands that come home early kill people.

    I just think someone is trying to compensate for something....
    I realize you think you understand what you thought I said, but what I am not so sure about is whether what you think you heard is what I think I meant.

    Would that have any use as an anti-material rifle? Knock out things like LAVs? Just wondering.

    lav or LAV? I think I understand what I thought you said, but what I am not so sure about is whether what I think I heard is what you think you meant.

    Light armored vehicles, like the USMC LAV, older APCs like the BTR, and so on.

    That's one expensive round.

    Weapon development that is more interesting to me than a .950 caliber rifle are guided bullets

    Good greif!
    I'm no firearms expert, but even I can see that needs to be mounted on a vehicle or some-such.
    That said, it must be intoxicating to fire it.
