Featured Caliber: .50 BMG

My mind automatically goes to the Barrett shoulder-fired rifle when conversations turn to the .50 BMG caliber.

At the time, there was no counter to the Gatling Gun, no shield from its fury, and little chance of survival if you were a foot soldier trying to advance on an army using this terrifying machine on the front lines.
