The rifle can fire 10 rounds in 10 seconds, and the bullets can travel for miles, police officials said. The .50 caliber rifle available to civilians are single-shot...hardly capable of firing 10 rounds in 10 seconds. Shooting down airplanes four miles away...lol.

Exactly. I noticed that wonderful comment too.
Those opposed to the weapons sound almost hysterical.

The Barrett model 82A1 is a semiauto w/ 10 round magazines. The model 95 is a bolt action w/ 5 round magazines.

Well, the Barrett(sp?) M82 .50-cal is a semiauto, w/10 round magazine. But yeah, most other 50’s are single shot.

The .50 caliber rifle available to civilians are single-shot...hardly capable of firing 10 rounds in 10 seconds. Some are semiautomatic, and have 10 round magazines. 10 rounds in 10 seconds is doable. Maybe not real accurately though. The recoil, even with muzzle brakes and such, is still significant, and getting back on target might take a bit longer than a second.
