this is the way to fell

[Gollum]

Nice! I tried to crownlift a HC with a twelve bore a while back, it didn't work. I did fell a young orchard with it though......

 

Did you take 12 bore on the fishing trip Mick

Nah, often thought about clay shooting off a boat for added interest though.

I think you'd have to be twelve miles offshore to make it legal.

So would I,

Can just imagen phoning the verifier for clarification,

probably get this answer

 

Providing he had the correct PPE on and it's covered on the risk assessment should be OK

 

Absolute class

I love FPS Russia Nothing is Pre rigged with this guy

 

Hes got to many guns and way to much Cash

 

Yeah to many guns and no brains. Being that close to an explosion involving wood (high shrapnel likelyhood) is simply stupid.

 

The .50 round is a big one, but its not big enough to carry that kind of explosive yield. And if it was, rounds hitting other things within the field of fire would be exploding all over the place, especially if he used that "round" later when shooting the concrete.

 

The explosion started from the rear of the tree, cuts its quite straight and lifts it up. Its not characteristic of an explosive round.

[Rich Rule]

Did you watch the vid mate? It is quite clearly explained. .50 Cal API (Armour Piercing Incendary) rounds. When he is shooting the concrete they are normal rounds until he switches to a full belt of .50 cal tracer rounds.

[Timbermcpherson]

Yes I watched it. API are just tracer rounds that are made to penetrate and burn. Not explode (but they would be the round you would choose to set off a charge). If anything AP rounds would do less damage to the tree as the slug is designed not to distort when it hits something. There are explosive API rounds but they arent anything like the vid

The most damage done is done by rounds that distort/tumble/fragment as they travel through wood or flesh. A piercing round will be the cleanest, smallest hole possible. A bad choice for cutting down a tree unless you have already loaded it up with a charge.

 

So next time you find yourself behind a M2.

 

Hear vehicle sounds, load the armour piercing rounds

For the rumble of footfall, reach for the standard ball

agree with the above totally. the tree was defo pre rigged or all the other rounds were duds as they didnt explode on impact.

 

but it would be cool to have those toys, the bloke seems fairly insane though...
