These deserve way more views. I love watching this kind of stuff!

[@lindsaythompson726]

Lots of know - it - alls on this one. I feel confident that if Mr Patina had wanted to make the bullet the exact size as a real one, he could've.

[@Oliverdobbins]

Whenever I watch you cut a thread, I’m reminded of my Metalwork Teacher at school teaching us how to do that. He said to remember “Half forward, back, take up the slack”. Half forward - half a turn of the tap, cutting new thread Back - return to the starting point, therefore removing the cut fragments Take up the slack - return the tap ready to begin a new cut Apparently this would reduce the chances of snapping the tap as it got deeper in to the workpiece, and make it easier to extract once cutting was completed. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hello mister Patina beautifully made good job

Great job Mr. Patina 👏👏👏, as always 👉👉👉. Thanks man 🙏. 😎

I love all of your projects, also this one too but to be honest the projectile of this bullet doesn't look real,it could be little bit more sharp on the tip ❤

Did this on purpose, like I said in the subtitles 😉

[@memberwhen22]

how does the thread turning die work? is there a mechanism that precisely controls the speed that it moves horizontally, ensuring the thread pattern is even?

[@misterpatina]

The lathe has an automatic feed with different gears. On the lathe there are different gear ratios, telling you which ratio equals which thread. So you basically just turn low speed and NEVER EVER turn off the auto feed 😅 (otherwise it would lose the position)

[@memberwhen22]

cool! thanks@@misterpatina

The "bullet" was odd shaped, but you made a good job. I understand, if it's not meant to look like a real one, of course.

[@darkwinter7395]

Why won't this doggon thing fire?!?!

[@misterpatina]

[@David_Camerwrongun]

See the sunnies with joint compartment far better idea. Walking about with a 50 cal replica is only going to cause unnecessary problems. Then they realise it's for concealment law enforcement would have a field day with you

[@Shotter]

The problem is that it looks sooo cool, I'd want to steal it for itself, not knowing it's a hiding place.

[@ExUnoInAeternum]

Fix the tip. The "illusion" of the.50 BMG is marred by this flaw. Excellent craftsmanship nonetheless.

[@azrielperlman4434]

The question is will it actually fit in a 50 cal rifle?

[@misterpatina]

It should, I turned it to +0,1mm, so it will be correct after sanding/polishing. But I don’t have the opportunity to test 😕

[@NecromancerSloth]

Hey, Mister Patina! Great video as always. You've got a pretty big fanbase now, which is why I'm bringing up this part, 10:18. Inevitably, with an audience this big, some of your audience will be neither ladies nor gentlemen. If you use a collective gender-neutral term to address your audience instead, you won't be leaving out a portion of your audience! We love you, thanks for the wonderful videos! ❤

Now the question is, would this fake 50 BMG round be able to jam a M2 browning machine gun? Also, did you know that in World War II? there were cases where allied ground crews and pilots would sometimes find high explosives bullets inside of their fuel tanks that have been shot that didn’t go off like they were supposed to. Well, the Americans and the British mechanics and pilots being curious people that they are decided to cut these unexploded I explosive rounds open to see why they failed. And upon cutting them open, they discovered that the explosives had not been put inside the bullet. Instead, they discovered small rolled up pieces of paper with messages from the people who were working in the factories on the assembly lines, making these bullets saying that this is as much as they could do for the war effort to helping the allies win the war against Hitler and his Nazis.

[@goldwing2000]

As a .50BMG owner, you did ok. The work itself is good but the projectile shape is wrong. It's not a straight taper but an ogive. I'm sure 99% of people will never notice the difference.

[@PackthatcameBack]

Hate to tell you this, but that's a bit big to be a .50.

[@misterpatina]

So we can be glad it won’t fire 😅

If it's .50 BMG, one of the most MURICA cartridges in the world, why did you measure everything in confusing metric instead of the logical freedom units? 😜

[@ralphrohr]

Coz the Rest of the World uses metric... 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@misterpatina]

Haha! My lathe doesn’t show freedom 🤣

[@Serenity_Dee]

@@misterpatina In all seriousness, the only thing I could legitimately say is that I have never seen a .50 BMG cartridge anywhere near that shiny. They _always_ look a little weathered. That alone would make it stand out, and I'd know something was off as soon as I picked it up to check it out because it wouldn't feel right. The cases on real cartridges aren't anywhere near that thick-walled, and the bullet is a thin copper jacket around lead, so the balance would be very off. But give it a few months of sitting around and being randomly handled and it should start looking more like the real thing 😁.

[@JollyRoger2408]

My friend, the correct name for this round, even in the US forces, is not .50 BMG, but 12.7 × 99mm NATO. 😉

[@misterpatina]

@JollyRoger2408 my friend, the main definition is .50bmg (browning machine gun). You can also call it: 50 brg, 50 L11, 50 browning, 50 cal, 50 m2 or 12,7x99. The main definition is 50 bmg, invented by browning in the 20‘s.
