50 cal sniper rifles aren't really designed for shooting people. (it is illegal in the geneva convention to use .50 cal rounds on troops)
(it is legal however to a soldiers body armour. very dodgy legal loop holes)
their primary role is to be used for destroying light skinned vehicles, such as jeeps etc.

i knew that was their original design but i wasn't sure if it was ever adopted as a sniper rifle anywhere. that's probably why it is called the "light" .50
