OUT ON SURVEY

Some captures from today's survey near the Fortescue Marsh

rear view

We sometimes find the odd 22 or 303 cartridge up here but a 50 cal?! Jeebus, I think it's a 50 cal, but whatever it is it comes from a massive gun and not the usual hunting rifle you see up here. Mostly the kind of gun you find on top of a tank.

50 cal

found another cool abandoned stockyard in the afternoon

The 50mm is obviously for hunting megafauna

OMG , you've stumbled upon the real reason mega fauna died out ....

and lol at 50mm , that's cannon material , try 12.7mm ,
though , anything looks big against those stubby little fingers . - Reb .

yep, they never stood a chance

hahaha 12.7 sounds much better, what do I know about shell casings, someone shouted 50mm so I believed em :)

still has to be a big gun yeah? not an off the shelf item?
