The amount of recoil on that is freakin' crazy, wouldn't that dislocate you shoulder ? If it didn't you would have one heck of a bruise!

Well the video clearly states that the first shot was with the muzzle brake and the remaining shots were without it.  I think you'd probably break something shooting without it.  I got the opportunity to shoot a Barrett 95 and that thing kicked pretty hard even with a brake on it.

They've tested it, and  you actually CAN dislocate your shoulder if you try to fire it standing up with no support. (From what I heard)

Well I guess it would be nearly impossible to have a projectile to go a mile plus, without having that much kick

That is SICK! I can't believe that action showed no damage after pluggin the barrel. And I for SURE wouldn't want to have to fire it with a plugged barrel. Looks like a LOT of debris and hot gases escaped through the action towards the shooter.

But the fact that it can take that kind of abuse is amazing.

Here's a pretty cool video testing a .50bmg bolt action rifle for stress testing.
