“Didn’t realize those were used as sniper weapons or that they had a semi automatic setting.”

I’m guessing it was not a “Ma Duce”, thinking a Barrett or something like that. Can’t rely on reporters to get the technicals right on something like this.

It probably went something like this:
Reporterette: “What bullet are you using?”
Sniper: “50 BMG, Ma’am.”
Reporterette: “What does ‘BMG’ stand for?”
Sniper: “Browning Machine Gun, Ma’am.”
Reporterette scribbling notes: “Shooting machine gun.”

White Feather did so in VN, so this chap may very well have done so too.
