Seriously, it doesn't look like it from the video, but the light assembly was like 15 inches away from the muzzle.  Wasn't expecting that, and yes, I was wondering where all the red stuff came from.   I thought it came up from the ground or something at first! :p

Thanks for the b4rn link, Mark. Smiley

280plus, it's a Serbu BFG-50.  And yeah, a new light was like, $32 with shipping.  The ammo itself was not much less pricey. Wink

No big deal, taillights don't cost that much, even less from a junkyard.   They swap out in a few minutes.  I've shot a .50 before but could see myself making the same mistake.  Until now.   grin

If the plate stays in one place, it's not hard to do. You do need decent editing software, though. I use Final Cut Pro, but that's $1k, so it might be a bit pricey.

It actually works on old Daguerrotypes, amusingly. They were time exposed, and the detail is incredibly fine because it's a chemical process on a metal plate at nearly the molecular level. You can literally zoom in on a tiny sign in the distance and read it.

Here is a video of me shooting the Bushmaster BA50 off a front porch... It has one of the most efficient Muzzle Brake / Recoil reducer out there... What I was never warned of is that this means a LARGE blast of air results to both sides and to the rear of the shooter. The blast actually blew out a tiki torch wick 6 feet away!!! I wanted to share this with the forum - it could be a safety issue if anyone nearby does not have eye protection on, and dirt/sand/rocks etc are kicked up in thier faces....
