Is this the place for gun porn?

I'm not going to wade though a nearly 300 post meta thread to find out but I thought of DU when I saw this.

Scope and bipod are a giveaway. When you are shooting somebody in your living room 100 feet away you need magnification and stabilization.

I don't have a clue what "SOP" means either, but maybe it's "stand-off projectile" or "special operations"?

What happens when you take a 30-06 Springfield cartridge and neck it down to .270″? You get a new cartridge called the 270 Winchester, both great cartridges with different uses. Now imagine taking a 20mm Vulcan case and necking it down to 14.9mm. Put a super aerodynamic bullet in it and you have a new Ultra Long Range cartridge. That is the heart of the 14.9 SOP, to reach out past 2000 yards for interdiction of targets beyond the range of existing rifle systems.

I thought that's what the other poster was referring to - but it's always good to have the DU meaning as well...

This seems like a match made in heaven.

Everything I love about the 1911 without the grip safety, and no beavertail.

but I liked it because I have stupid large hands and it kept me from getting bit by the slide. It looked just like the one in the picture, but with a beaver tail.

I'm a little ignorant about guns, so I'm curious to know if the gun in that guy's right hand can be purchased by a civilian.

Based on the photo and discussion in this thread, I gather it's an anti-armored vehicle weapon.
