content: As a long distance shooter there's more to the .50 BMG than range or taking a life. The primary tactical advantage you would get from one of these is stopping a vehicle in a 200 yard range. You really don't need a 2 mile shooting range in the middle of nowhere Wyoming to get the benefits of such a rifle. As is you would most likely use it to kill an engine of a fleeing suspect. Although it's a pretty silly scenario for the police to find themselves in.
