Couldn't tell you, but it was a demonstration according to the article. They weren't training with it.

How do you demonstrate IN A STADIUM with a 50 ?!?
WTF is the point of that ?

Accuracy?

Accuracy?

If you can hit on the square range you can hit in a stadium where the distance is always less than 150 yards.
Besides, WHY does anyone need a 50BMG in a city stadium ?!? Only a 308 at the most....

.....and the alternative?

Ill let the professionals use whatever they deem necessary in that case. I trust their judgement.
Also a static range shot is nothing like what these guys are doing from an elevated position under stress with bystanders.
308, meh, imo better options now but like I said, professionals get their pick of their tools. Shouldn't be observers or suits behind a desk.
What about a suspect that is wearing armor? Not saying a headshot isn't possible, just lots of factors. These guys know what to look for. They know what to use. They also have officers on the ground in uniform and not that are highly trained and they all work like a well oiled machine at these events.

You should make some phone calls and set those guys straight. If that doesn't work, there is always change.org.
