Didn’t realize those were used as sniper weapons or that they had a semi automatic setting. Carlos Hathcock did it in RVN way back when. The ground .50 shoots so slow it would not be hard to crank of single shots.

I have also heard that it was used for single shot long range pinging/sniping...

"The ground .50 shoots so slow it would not be hard to crank of single shots." And if he sent 1-2 more rounds, so what? One is enough, if the extras hit bystanders, I suspect they weren't all that innocent.

Couldn’t remember the name in my earlier post. The guy set new standards in sniping
