holy fuck i always knew .50's had amazing power but i never imagined they'd do this to a body...luckily its not too bloody and all...
BTW a Barrett M82A1 .50 sniper rifle has recorded hits of over 1800m i believe...must be incredibly skilled snipers to account for all the factors at such a distance and get a hit

lol  i dont know the age certification for CS, but if that happened in it it'd surely be the highest...would give some evil sort of satisfaction though, to just shoot your opponent to shreds

actually with the right ammo , a Barrett could cause serious damage to a armoured vehicle up to a 1 km range 
it`s not primarily an anti personal weapon ,it was created to destroy heavy stuff , and it was built around the .50caliber BMG (12.7x99 mm Browning Machine Gun)

Yeah they don't look like human targets at all. The last one looks like it was a bird or something. Cool nonetheless.
P.S. .50 sniper rifles are also used for anti-mine duties as well.

I fired the norwegian armys .50 cal longrifle, and they pack a serious punch. We use to say it is like using a cannon to take out sparrows, and according to NATO and The Geneve Convention you are not allowed to use it on someone whos running, walking or swimming. There are different rules to machineguns and handheld longrifles, but a 5.56mm is a much better way to stop someone.
As for the video, I think they are sniping animals.

They look like Rabbit like animals. Too bad he can't zoom close enough to see exactly what they were shooting at. I reckon the video was taken some way off from where they were shooting. Cos you hear the sound first.
