I think the largest I have around here is a 20mm from my old Cobra helicopter days.

We used to have gunneries in Korea during “Team Spirit” exercises and some of the Koreans would stand underneath the helicopters on the firing line with a basket to catch the expended brass to make into their wares.

No, I don't have small hand syndrome.
I've fired several .50 BMG rounds, out of a BMG. Those are awesome to play with. I'd like a Barrett .50, but it's kind of expensive for something I have no real use for.

I don't remember ever seeing one of those fired, but I have seen what I was told were 37mm tracers at night, biggest tracers I've ever seen. Green. American stuff is red...

If the aircraft is moving at a good clip, that falling brass is dangerous.
