Just what is it like to shoot a .50 BMG rifle? How loud are they generally, as loud as a mosin nagant M44 or louder? Also how bad is the recoil generally, I know any rifle chambered for the .50 is going to be pretty heavy but does it throw you around still? (I say generally because I am not referring to a specific model for my previous questions). Also, just for kicks, would it be difficult to shoulder fire say an AR50?
