I'm kinda partial to the .50 version, 'reach out, reach out and touch someone'

"I'm kinda partial to the .50 version, 'reach out, reach out and touch someone'" A "shooter" close to the family, mentioned that several shooters in Afghanistan, along the eastern border with Pakistan - preferred the .50 BMG for "work".
NOT because of the range or target involved -- but because "It left a hell of a mess for the target's friends to clean up"......"sent an ugly message"....
In another case -- on a narrow mountain road - the .50 BMG would be used to "disable the pickup", and then shoot the passengers as they bailed out...
