Anyone who knows anything at all about 50 BMG, ballistics, & trajectory also knows that the whole story isn't being told here.

I'm absolutely glad it happened, but the short-stroke way this is being presented leaves 99% of people believing something other than reality.

Knowing a bit about the topic and accuracy mentioned above, its one or both of two things:
- Not Barret 50, but one of them new fancy more accurate 50s.
- Not a one-shot-one-kill but sequence of shots, and superhuman spotter...
