Never heard anything about the use .50 calibers being outlawed against personnel. However, and until Vietnam movies, it was always my understanding that using shotguns in combat was A NO-NO. Anyone here know anything about that?

P.S. Regarding .50 cal. sniper rifles, that's usually the case when extreme long range shooting is required. 30 cals, 7mm and such only have maximum effective ranges out to about 750 meters. Wheras A 50's maximum effective range is twice that OR BETTER.
