PGM Precision Hecate II at the Range
At The Range

8m 33s
Today, we are taking the PGM Precision Hecate II out to the range. It is a rifle designed for use out to 1800m, but I have neither the skills myself nor the range facility to do something like that - instead I have a target set up at 200m.
I was quite surprising by just how soft-shooting the Hecate II is for a rifle chambered for .50 BMG. I can very honestly say that many .308 precision rifles have more felt recoil than this does - although the Hecate does have a substantial muzzle blast and concussion! Unfortunately, my shooting isn't up to the task of properly showing off the accuracy the rifle is capable of - I'll have to leave that to better shooters to demonstrating. However, if you are curious how .50 BMG behaves on steel, check out today's InRangeTV video!
Thanks to PGM Precision USA for the opportunity to borrow this magnificent rifle to show to you!

CMMG Banshee at the Range
Yesterday we looked at the novel Radial Delayed Blowback system invented by CMMG for their 9mm AR carbines; today we are taking it out to the range to try. It does indeed do exactly as advertised - even in a lighter platform like this SBR, the recoil impulse is significantly less than in simple b...

The real versions of these guns were made on Mle 1890 cavalry carbines and Mle 1907-15 long rifles, as survival rifles for pilots and observers early in World War On...
