But I wasn't 100% sure but I did learn from the military that the .50 cal was not originally designed to kill humans but rather destroy objects such as you mentioned. I know it does make an effective sniper rifle because of it's accuracy at long distances.

Horseshit. There is no justification for local police to be armed like this |
