The AK-50 - Everything Is Bigger in Texas

Including the insanity, though the reference to Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool is good.

The AK-50 from Brandon Herrera. A semi-automatic rifle in .50 BMG with an AK-style gas system. (He is the AK-Guy, after all.) The video at the link and embedded below is how it came to be over the past several years.

Considering that .50 BMG ammo goes for between $5 and $10 a round... this is truly insane. I found 750 grain Hornady match-grade ammo for 9 bucks a round in a box of 10, dropping to $8.25 if buy 100 rounds. Plus shipping. (Ammo is lead - shipping is never free.) 660 grain ammo from PMC (South Korea) is $4.20 a round if you buy a case of 200.

Brandon Herrera is the owner of a firearms manufacturing company, and a YouTube personality.

The craziest thing about this video is that Brandon Herrera is running for Congress in whatever district includes San Antonio. The anti-gun, incumbent, Republican Tony Gonzales, didn't win the primary outright so there is a run-off election at the end of May between Gonzales and Herrera. At least he isn't 94 years old, like the rest of Congress. And he has a sense of humor, which he uses to poke the establishment bear.

From The Ultimate Answer to Kings to get a trigger warning:

Brandon Herrera was dropped on his head as a baby and is now incapable of completing a sentence that does not contain the word f*ck.
