If I remember correctly, that rifle is not much heavier than my 5.56
The Nemo pratka (pretty much the same thing, lower price and just black) weighs 9.5 pounds. That's not a huge difference for such a difference in power.

but yeah still heavy.

My buddy taught tactical shooting at a range here and said that most people are exhausted after being on the course shooting for just a couple minutes. He showed me how the pros carry and shoot, and I must say as a traditional shooting type (lift, aim, exhale, squeeze) it looks like it would require quite a bit of practice to carry a gun like that and actually hit stuff. My buddy however can shoot from the hip pretty well :p I seen him fire an AK from the hip, upside down, with a pinky tap, and hit the target. No military or police training. It is fun to watch but I have more important thing to do than practice shooting all the time :lol:

Maybe they should just mount it to the back of a pickup

I was weighing my rifle yesterday just out of curiosity, and it's very close to exactly 8 pounds (may be slightly more/less) with no ammo in the mag and scope attached, which feels pretty damn heavy after a while. Let alone with a full mag (but im unfit as shit)
I'm sure that the rifle in the video would wear you the hell out, but really, outside of some military obedience and conditioning shit, holding it in firing position for extended periods of time just seems useless.
I'm sure it'd also be utilized in prone position more so

True. Truth is that guns are toys for big kids in America, unless you committing crimes with them...then they're how you make your living :p

Something like that is definitely not useful for home defense, unless you live in Cambodia circa 1970.

Useful for hunting, though way overpriced and unnecessary for such a thing.
And for giving a big 'fuck you' to anti-gun people
And just incase shit goes down

Really a rifle like that just seems to be made for people who want guns incase of another civil war or something.
Every other use it is just overkill and overpriced. It can be effectively used in tons of situations, but unless it's some war type shit..It's just over the top.

Here is the last gun I got to shoot:

http://i58.tinypic.com/zja4o1.jpg

Drum held over 70 rounds. It was pretty heavy. Heavier than the AK 74 and 94 that was there. The 94 had a collapsible stock and turned out to be very small.

The thing in the picture was shooting .308s. Pic didn't turn out very clear. Men love their toys lol. Thing gave the business too.

That thing was pieces in a box until the guy holding it machined it and assembled it. It is a hobby I can't really afford, so I kind of piggy back on when I can.
