This just popped up in my recommended youtube video list. I think it's the video from one of the links earlier in the thread. That muzzle brake is awesome!

A friend of mine who shoots 50 cal is having some rifles made for his club in 20mm. The bullet weight and velocity is staggering.

I believe the legal limit for civilian firearms is 26mm but I'm sure someone here will know.

...and no MIGHT in the equation if on FAC for re-enacting & no ammo possessed = no range limits apply!
