.50 BMG, you mean. Pistols have been used.

But...according to John Lott...Has anyone in the US ever been murdered by a 50 caliber rifle? Apparently, No:


The one possible case of someone being murdered with a 50 caliber gun supposedly occurred about a decade ago. The initial story that I had seen was immediately after the crime occurred. Well, I was recently given this follow up article from jury testimony that indicates even in that one case the murder was not from the 50 caliber gun.

Even the gun-grabbers can't come up with a case...

According to the history channel, only one person has been murdered with a legally registered machine gun and that was murder by a police officer!

The most terrifying assault weapon in US history is probably the .58 caliber Springfield rifled musket. That gun killed tens of thousands of Americans.
