Aren't most (if not all) .50 BMG guns of a style that's already banned in California, i.e. pistol-grip?

If they are bolt action it wouldn't matter. Semis only are considered Assault weapons. Even then Garands and Mini 14s are ok.

Only the Barrett light 50 (and similar mag-fed semi-autos) is considered an assault weapon under unconstitutional California law. This, despite its weight of nearly 40 pounds. There are several bolt-action and single-shot .50's on the market which are still legal in Cal. The Grizzly .50 costs about $2500 and weighs about 30 pounds. Its a bullpup design that puts the .50 cal round right under your cheek as you sight in the shot!
