I had a friend who, on a dare, removed the muzzle brake from a Barret and fired it, from a prone position, at the Quantico rifle range. Twice. He is 6'5" and weighed about 300 pounds. He said it physically moved him about 4 feet back from where he started. Also, the next day, the branch of service to which my friend belonged issued a statement that any service member using the range at Quantico in any capacity could face courtmartial if they fired a weapon from which a manufacturer-installed recoil reduction device had been removed.
I just think that's neat.
Those sabots result in a barrel life of like 100 shots, btw.
