A 50 cal round is big, its hardly a huge round.

“The bullet struck the ISIS commander in the back of the head and basically took off his face. He died instantly.”

And, very raghead islamist in the area suddenly felt the fear of God -- and started witlessly babbling, "Allahu akbar!", "Allahu akbar!", "Allahu akbar!", "Allahu akbar!", "Allahu etc..."

 :-)  because of the great shot that waxed the muzz vermin

 :-(  because a massive blow like that would have been lethal w/o suffering .. better to have aimed at his ass and blown a big hole thru his crotch .. poof! no more goat f**king gear, plus he wouldn't have died right away.

Is this an example of “One and Done.”?

“...which fires a huge .50 calibre round......”

Probably wouldn’t have hurt so much if the sniper had used a small .50 caliber round.

The source said: “The bullet struck the ISIS commander in the back of the head and basically took off his face. He died instantly.”

A little suffering would have been nice but given the size of the round it might have been too much to expect.
