Thanks, I will check my Mediaplayer internet settings then and my browser settings to see if I am blocking something I shouldn't be.

EDIT -

Those are just lead going really really fast. Now you know why California outlawed them. You can do serious damage with them.... but I still want one. -ggg-

They are 50 cal but hte shell looks like an aircraft round and is very long.

Here is what the Brady Bill amendment said about it....
The most regularly used round of .50 caliber ammunition is called the "ball." According to the U.S. Army, ball ammunition is so powerful it can penetrate one inch of concrete, six inches of sand, and 21 inches of clay at a range of 1,640 yards.[6] At a range of 38 yards it can penetrate an inch of armor plate and 16 inches of log wall. Armor-piercing and incendiary ammunition is another basic .50 caliber round which the U.S. Army uses against armored aircrafts and lightly armored vehicles.[7] The armor piercing incendiary rounds are tipped with phosphorous that explodes on impact and burns at 3,000 degrees. These rounds will ignite almost any fuel they encounter, and if shot into a tree will set the tree on fire.[1]

And here is another quote...
A Senate report said that a bullet from a .50-caliber rifle, even at 1.5 miles, crashes into a target with more energy than a bullet fired at point-blank range from Dirty Harry’s famous .44 Magnum.

This one is a year old but may not have been posted here yet. This is an attack helicopter gunning down a checkpoint. Awesome bounce shot when they go after the last guy trying to hide under a truck....

In case you can't tell, I receive a lot of military videos. I have a few newer ones that I just haven't had time to push up to my site yet.

For those that don't know, I have the old Stock Market classics as well. Here is the index of what is up there and if I get some time, I will add a few more....

Good Luck,
