Yeah, I call bull shit. Nothing from the top down makes any sense.

My head doesn't hurt, but it pisses me off as it's stupid.

I can't decide. Quite a bit of it makes sense - the chair continues as it should, for example, as does the mop. But in other places the join looks 'off'.
If they wanted to convince they should include a picture from a different angle.

Can't tell if its brilliantly done or if I'm being gullible.

Sure it does. The green chair in the background is visible in all four areas. The lamp and the milk crate provide the separation line for the top and bottom on the left, the toolbox provides the separation line for the top and bottom on the right. The effect is blown from even a slightly different perspective.

Toolbox on the table with some block sitting next to it.

I guess that's possible and I did think that. It's just hard to see.

Artificial line made with the tool box blocks your view of the chair legs like anything else. The chair appears to be elevated in a way that is awkward compared to everyone else, but that only adds to the surreal look.

Looks like PAX Prime. Some of the costumes I've seen at PAX are pretty awful.

And to contrast that, there was the time that I saw a full on Dalek. It was so well made I have to think it was a real prop - able to talk to you and everything, though I couldn't see where the remote control was.

Anyone know what the caliber is on that round?

Doesn't look like a .50 to me, and is bigger than a .338 Lapua. Barret .416? Something Russian or Chinese maybe?

It's .416 barrett from the look of it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.416_Barrett

It moves faster than the fastest of the .50BMG loads (by ~150 ft/s), but still has considerably less energy. Might have a flatter trajectory though.

That's what I was leaning towards. Absolutely it does, that's why they made it.

The one person I know who has shot one told me it's a near perfect anti-sniper caliber, with much better accuracy at the end of the range envelope due to superior bullet design. Makes sense to me, same reason the 7mm Mag is better than the .30/06, or a 6.5 Creedmoor compared to a .308

I did not know they went with brass for the bullet though, interesting!
