What happens when a .50 caliber bullet hits a person?
There are so many many stories and myths about what the big .50 can do, that it's hard to believe them - until you see it in person. Seeing someone hit by a .50 BMG round is an experience - it leaves an impression. Someone here mentioned a soldier that was hit by this round, fired from the big Barret sniper rifle. What people have said is that, since it hit his rifle, as he held it crosswise accross his chest, that the shock of the impact alone, killed the soldier. From personal experience, I can tell you that that .50 BMG round would have gone right through the soldier's rifle, and more than likely would have turned the pieces of fragmented metal from the soldier's rifle into shrapnel, which would in itself have been lethal. The .50 BMG was designed to defeat light armor, and I've personally witnessed this round, fired from an M2 (heavy machine gun), make Swiss cheese out of entire vehicles, to include the engine block - which just shatters, of course. It's hard to comprehend just how destructive the .50 BMG round is, until you've witnessed it personally - what I mean is that I wouldn't have believed the stories I've heard about the capabilities of this round, if I hadn't personally seen it. It's awesome, and it kills just about everything it hits, whether it's a plane, a truck, and of course, people. It would take a really, really freakish set of circumstances for anyone to survive a hit to the torso, for sure, and even if it hits an extremity, it's more than likely going to mean the loss of that arm or leg - and that's a best-case scenario, and assuming the bleeding is stopped, and shock managed. I've seen more than a few people shot with the .50, and every time, it's been like one of those carnival freak show houses.
How to get rid of lower back pain?
try inversion. elevate your hips or place a pillow under your lower back. Inversion therapy uses gravity to pull accumulated stress in your lower back into the other direction. There is some reasonably priced equipment to be found online ($50-$80). Their designed to relieve stress on the muscles and spine.

Has any female groped you in India?
Some memories are really deep and the pain and scars still remain.I love travelling hence instantly picked up a job as sales for a wildlife resort in India after coming back from abroad.Me and another colleague was travelling by the local bus to one of the forest resorts in Bhopal. Madhya Pradesh. The bus was really rickety and noisy, no place to sit in front seats hence we moved behind and there we see a beautiful lady laying across the entire 2nd last row seat. We didn’t have the courage to wake her up hence we took the last row seat. The entire trip was we were bouncing and thrown around because of the bumpy and uneven road.On one such bumps we were thrown so hard that our bones ratttled. This lady at last woke up and sat in the correct posture taking the window seat. We were mesmerised with her village beauty.We started our Bombay style Hindi conversation about her. It was a whispered conversation. But looks like she was hearing and she was enjoying out of the blue she asked us to come in the front seat and sit beside her. We immediately obliged and I sat beside her on her left and my colleague on my left, there was enough space between us though.After some time I felt her thighs widened n was touching mine . I have her space with my colleague almost falling off the seat.After some conversation with her and her village lifestyle, she instantly held my right hand tightly. It was an enjoyable sight for me to start with but later I realised I was in a mess. This lady was not ready to leave my hand. I asked for my colleagues assistance and he backed out. There was so much going in my head about me bing caught and beaten but this lady was not budging. She dragged my hand all through her lower part of the body. She was ready for another round for the upper part of her body when I got an opportunity to pull out my hand and run behind to my colleague. In the milee she scratched my arm with her nail so hard that there was a straight line mark with blood spots .Scared and shaken I was dumbfounded as what has happened. I was in a shock but couldn’t complain to anybody.Till date I have the scar in my right arm.I really don’t sit beside any lady.While walking in a crowded place too I make sure that my arms are folded.This is not the first time but I have several instances of such unfortunate situations.All in all Males are also physically abused by women.I am glad I moved out otherwise I don’t know what would have happened that day.
What is the best way to control recoil on a 12 gauge shotgun (pistol grip or shoulder buttstock)?
I have been firing shotguns for over 50 years now and I have discovered that the only why to "control recoil" is through a proper stance and a proper position of the butt stock against the shoulder. First, get some trap and skeet loads to just practice with. Stance: face the target, feet at shoulder width, take about a half step forward with the weak side foot, shuffle a bit until you feel balanced. lean forward slightly, until you feel weight on the ball of your weak side foot (not all your weight), remain balanced. Place the butt of the shotgun firmly into the pocket of the shooting shoulder. Not on the shoulder itself nor on the collar bone. The shooting hand pulls the shotgun into the shoulder. The weak hand that is pumping your shotgun is only to support the front of the gun. Now, frankly, no matter how well you hold the shotgun, a three inch magnum, 00 buck shot load, is just not a fun round to shoot. Practice with the light stuff, I would not shoot more that five of those heavy loads in one session.
