the .50-Cal has naturally been thought of as largely an area weapon able to lay down suppressive fire

Not for the snipers who use the Barrett M82.

Hornady amax bullet. Extremely high ballistic coefficient.

there is a version I saw which is being used for sniping - took out some jihadi commander reviewing troops at a mile (I think) cut him in half. Forgot were I saw that but might have been on the war zone.

Lots of time behind the M2 .50 cal. It is one of the best weapons ever developed and so much fun to fire while being one of the easiest weapons to disassemble and clean. The only problem were idiots who would forget head space and timing.
