New sniper record

[Die Hard]

The M2 is a anti vecihcle weapon, a 50 cal round is over kill...thats why we got those new miniguns and 240s on top Humvees, and MRAPs now.

The Ma Duce is very effective against infantry in cover and inside structures.

And the fear of hearing that thing brings is a whole other plus.  Besides, a minigun on a Humvee is more overkill than a M2 ever was.  You think that getting an arm or leg blown off looks bad?  Try grinding the enemy into a paste! (I'm in favor of the M2, far more cost effective)

Yea, you can't used 50 cal on personals but who said you were using it on them. You're just using it against their kit. It's okay to engage their kits w/ 50 cals xD.
It's all about enviroment consideration. If you're in an urban area 95% of the time you will not use 50 cals. Pending on where you are, a lot of houses in the Middle East are mut huts. A 50 cal round would go thru 4-5 houses easily. So most the time the gunner would have to use his peashooter. We try out best to negate collateral damage. I had an Iraqi soldier ND his AK-47 at my COP a few weeks ago. That round went thru 3 connexes. It was just a normal AK-47 rounds, not an AP round. So imagine what a 50 cals round would do.

Well. yeah the .50 MG's are not supposed to be used against 'personell'.. I was informed of that rule of modern warfare many yrs ago as well.. Hmmmm, I was also informed of the policy, "Yes sir, I opened fire on a long line of canteens and entrenching tools marching out of the treeline!"  "Oh OK, good work Marine!"... "Where did they run?, We'll call down some 81's on their head!"
Thats combat policy!

M16's and M42 Dusters were used heavily by US troops in Korea against Chicom human wave attacks.. Worked good too!
Damn, the devils harvest must have been pretty ugly that time... Ugh, what a mess!
