.50s CAN be accurate, but most of the Barretts in the field are still shooting left over WWII de-linked machine gun ammo. Not the most accurate stuff in the world. Furthermore the M82 isn't accurate enough to be called a "sniper rifle" by the Marine's standards, thus it is called an "anti-material rifle".

I read all this in a Barrett magazine I have , so if they are saying that in their own propaganda, I have no reason to doubt it.

The Barrett is good for minute-of-truck accuracy.
