well the pilot must have been holding the heli still so he can get a clear shot

Nice rifle, perfect for taking down terrorists with just one shot!

He can't. It's strapped to the copter and so is he

Now that is just badass. Luckily that weapon is semi-auto. Doesn't matter who you are moving aircraft with possible moving target = tough shot.
I wouldn't mind getting that kind of training in though, Hooah.

I really like the photos from you, but I feel I should ask just in case; is it ok to post up this much information about location and detachment and such? I'm guessing these are old enough pics to be safe but I figured I would check. And since there seems to be multiple photographers I'm thinking this might be a military-run account.

Like that you caught part of the main rotor blade in the image too . Cheers.

Awesome, always cool to see what the troops are doing. That leaves me with a good question, what are they doing in this photo? Looks like some cool arctic training.

Awesome picture. Beautiful background and a very cool weapon. However, the thing that pleases me most is probably the thing most people don't even notice; Finger OFF the trigger. A real pro doesn't touch that trigger until he is ready to kill something.

Excuse me, I misread your comment.

No worries, we all misread something at some point, at least you had the decency to correct your error. :]

Very cool, but isn't it dangerous to hold a .50 rifle like that, I seem to remember they have recoil like no other

Take another look , it appears that the cargo strap is looped around the ( front hand grip?)
just in front of the magazine , but at the very least that part is resting on the cargo strap ,
adding to it's stability .

Uhh, no. They don't. It's comparable to a .30-06 rifle.

Nice photo. But, is it possible to shoot accurately like that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Given that you know what you're doing, yes it is. It's not as practical as shooting with a rifle that's been bolted to a concrete block, no, but the only extra variable you really need to account for is the velocity of the helicopter. But that's why they're training, because it sure as hell isn't easy.

SEALs do it from boats, Marines do it from air. Either way, totally Badass!
