  • sfelton, on 03/22/2009, -0/+107And then it takes two shots to kill someone.
  • tattokris, on 03/22/2009, -0/+97Guess I'm getting rid of my flack vest and taping 18 hds to me instead.
  • Sogui, on 03/22/2009, -0/+97They should bring in the hard-drive with the bullet sticking out of it to Best Buy and say it came like that when they opened the box.
  • Lemonseamonkey, on 03/22/2009, -1/+92good god 50 cal anti-material rifles are insane. I crack up in games when you can run around hip firing them.
  • Octanus, on 03/22/2009, -4/+80that's what she said

  • Rocksea24, on 03/23/2009, -0/+57Why tape the first 16 on when it was the 17th that stopped the bullet? Just tape the 17th drive on and you should be just fine and save a lot of hds not to mention it will be much lighter.

  • wreckosaurus, on 03/22/2009, -6/+38yeah, you kinda sound like a pussy
  • inactive, on 03/22/2009, -3/+34So if they start coating tanks in 18 layers of hard drives....
  • unabsolute, on 03/22/2009, -0/+29bullet lodged right next to the fragile sticker. hey man, nice shot!
  • scoot2006, on 03/22/2009, -1/+28"Ohh, 'fraageelee'. Must be Italian."

  • chrisinsocalif, on 03/22/2009, -0/+19That guy really got pissed at his RAID array.
  • Chairboy, on 03/22/2009, -2/+19"The good news, soldier, we've agreed with your request to cover your tank with 18 layers of hard drives."

    "Yay!"

    "The bad news... they're all solid-state flash based ones."
  • rockon4life45, on 03/22/2009, -6/+23There is no way you can run around with one of those guns firing from the hip like kiddies do in CoD4
  • EllimistX, on 03/23/2009, -0/+17Your logic is irrefutable.
  • Mtdewrulz, on 03/22/2009, -1/+17I heard that because of the weight of the gun and because of the muzzle brake, they kick no more than a 12-gauge shotgun.
  • wassamatta, on 03/23/2009, -1/+17I see cookie monster has a side job as a lead singer now
  • DirtPile, on 03/23/2009, -1/+17Comin' to save the ***** day, yeah!!!
  • chugatussin, on 03/22/2009, -1/+16good way to ditch the cp
  • mindsnare, on 03/23/2009, -0/+15"AP rounds are legal to use unless you use them in a felony"

    Well... yeah
  • inactive, on 03/22/2009, -4/+17I can't wait for gun experts to start weighing in and looking cool.
  • newdigger, on 03/23/2009, -1/+14Nice to see some [H] love on Digg.
  • HenvY, on 03/22/2009, -1/+13Shut the ***** up.
    This is my 1,327th comment.
  • eibiee, on 03/22/2009, -0/+12This is what happens when you combine computer nerds and gun-nuts.
  • WindReaver, on 03/23/2009, -0/+12And how many crimes have been committed with .50 BMG guns, let alone AP rounds? Oh right. None.
  • yuppiexj, on 03/22/2009, -0/+12They probably don't live in California or other gun control states.

    In my home state AP rounds are legal to use unless you use them in a felony (see recursive)
  • ShadyMilkman04, on 03/23/2009, -0/+12Yeah, but is it made by Western Digital? Didn't think so.
  • areber04, on 03/23/2009, -0/+11In the old Delta Force: Land Warrior it took one shot to any part of the body and they couldn't be revived by a medic. That's how it should be done :)
  • ShadyMilkman04, on 03/23/2009, -0/+11Western Digital Raptor Dragon Armor Vest! Hell yeah!
  • rabidbob, on 03/23/2009, -0/+10Shoot off while you shoot off?
  • UTKEngineer, on 03/22/2009, -0/+10Mtdewrulz - that is fairly accurate. My 12 ga doesn't kick that much so I'd compare a .50 BMG more to a 30+ caliber centerfire rifle, but that's nitpicking.

    Outcaster51 to be fair, he said you can't RUN around hip-firing them. As heavy as those beasts are, I wouldn't want to run very far carrying one :)
  • LeadStripes, on 03/23/2009, -0/+10Needs more slo-mo!
  • wilf_brim, on 03/23/2009, -1/+9Man, I need to go work for those guys after I retire from the military. I can just imagine how this happened. A bunch of guys sitting around, realizing they have about 20 drives they no longer need. After some discussion, they decide to shoot them. With a 50 cal sniper rifle. With an AP round. How friggin awesome is that.

    That rifle is so cool. If I ever won the Lotto, I'd love to have one of those just sitting around. You can't really use it, but it is such a cool piece of kit.
  • graemee, on 03/23/2009, -0/+8Love the Redneck Range decor.
  • Darksoul, on 03/23/2009, -0/+8Yep if you don't live in a gun control state then you can buy what ever the hell you want seriously go to a gun show in say California then go to one like in say where I live in Arizona it will blow your mind how much other stuff they don't sell in California.

    @enantiodromia

    No gun control states are a joke those laws never ever stop the people that want to buy the weapons to do harm to people because those people buy weapons illegally. And they can be purchased online but they can not be sent to your house you moron.
  • gitchie, on 03/23/2009, -0/+8girlfriend? holy *****
  • Parabol, on 03/23/2009, -0/+7Gordon Freeman?
  • Tobey, on 03/22/2009, -1/+8Well, there's a good reason for that.
  • Ftown13, on 03/23/2009, -4/+11It's not funny when you have to explain the joke.
  • Dinsdale77, on 03/22/2009, -1/+8I don't have either of these things.
  • Apostolos11, on 03/23/2009, -0/+7We don't need no stinking Degausser!
  • Lemonseamonkey, on 03/22/2009, -2/+9well there are guys like this, but the 50 pound balls must act as a counterweight. and yeah, why does it always take two shots in games?! anyways http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooIArdZOWi8
  • enantiodromia, on 03/23/2009, -0/+7i'll stick with DBAN :)
