To the best of my knowledge, there as NEVER BEEN A CRIME OF ANY SORT COMMITTED with a .50BMG weapon.

I think once one American criminal once used a .50BMG rifle to shoot someone at point-blank, but that's about it. At that range, it's basically just a shotgun.

Also, you should use the qualifier "in America" because around the world, I'll bet crimes are committed every day with .50 MGs (especially if you include war crimes as crimes)

Well, I had intended the phrase ".50BMG weapon" to mean ".50BMG rifle". I suspect that the (war) crimes you are talking about are committed with the real fully-auto .50BMG mccoy machine guns.
