.50 has never been outlawed by any one as an anti-personnel weapon. WHAT WAS OUTLAWED for use against troops were explosive bullets and/or dumdum (named for the Dumdum Arsenal in India) ammo which was heavily scored to spread out a soft lead bullet. At one time I've heard that it was "Illegal" to use the Twin Dusters (40mm Bofors) Anti-aircraft weapon against troops however I saw a lot of Dusters on fire bases in Vietnam and never heard of VC or NVA aircraft. They were used for perimeter defense. Most of this "Outlawed" stuff is just urban legend.
