Actually, she shoots it like that pretty frequently. That bigass muzzle brake is really effective...she says it kicks even less than the M82A1 did, and the Barrett wasn't too bad that way either.

The Barrett got sold about two years ago, and she's been after another BMG ever since; the Cobb is supposedly quite a bit more accurate, being a boltgun*, and it's nearly as fast.

They did have one idiot who tried to fire a Serbu .50 standing...it's light enough to do it, but you can imagine the result I'm sure. For $5 you can buy a round of .50 to put through one of the guns; it's a great way to advertise and sell the things, but every now and again...Fortunately, the Serbu wasn't damaged. It wasn't wearing a scope at the time, just the backup irons, so the guy didn't end up having to buy it, but he did get to endure all sorts of taunts from Mom And Co. every time he came back, which wasn't often.

Edited to add: This is what happens when the woman who taught you to shoot marries your gun dealer. BTW, love the setup on your M4. That kind of CQB setup is what the AR/M16 platform is truly best at, IMO. Although what really had me drooling was the tarted-up M14. I usually prefer my FAL, but that is one nice rig.

*It's got a straight-pull action with the bolt handle on the left side of the reciever.
