First time out shooting today. Started with iron sights and moved on to the scope. The recoil isn’t too bad but the shot concussion is intense! Strangely I felt it mostly in my nose like a strong sinus (heh) pressure.

Yup.
One thing you'll notice about .50 rifles like this is that the short barrels are actually FUN to shoot.
I have one with a 36" barrel. To keep the recoil down below the "aw, HELL no!" levels, I have to handload for it...and download just a skosh.

Everybody at the range hates the asshole with the big 50. Parts everybody’s hair on the firing line.
Watch the video again and look at the allen wrench on the table when the rifle fires. It looks small in comparison to the 50 and my fat ass, but that is a BIG allen wrench!
