      The recoil is what I was thinking about first. No sandbags or anything to keep this baby in place means that you might get 1 or 2 shots before the gun falls backwards off the ledge. And that’s if racking the bolt doesn’t already do it.

        Yeah was my thought as well. That badboy is gonna tear up the ledge and eventually push its way onto the floor.

        And in exchange you get shitty accuracy and ringing ears

      I give it max 5 rounds before the front of the tripod dislodges from the window sill and either falls forward out the window or backward.

      Assuming the window is not somehow fused into being one with gun.

      Then I guess it would be around 5 rounds before also the window shatters?

      Also the ladder would collide with the grips on the m2 for what seems like a lot of otherwise useable firing angles.
