    I have condoms that are 20 years old. And a CD of "Because I Got High" by Afroman.

      yes, especially with a normally scoped precision rifle like the Barrett. despite the fact that some impressive long range kill records in combat were made with the same weapon, its technically not a sniper rifle. its primarily for EOD tasks, countersniping enemy snipers, and destroying light vehicles or other unarmored or lightly armored equipment.

      it would make a modicum of sense if the .50 he was talking about was like, an M2 browning machine gun, because at least that has automatic fire to (not really) balance out the fact that you will never hit anything past 10 or so meters holding a huge gun at the hip like that lol.

      in WW2 some CQB tactics involved shooting SMG weapons (automatic rifles that shoot pistol caliber bullets) from the hip like that, and sometimes the squad machinegunner would be trained to provide 'walking fire' from the hip to suppress enemies during an advance when using something like the BAR or Bren, but modern CQB tactics are to shoulder the weapon and use the stock even if you can't/wont/dont use the sights, and machine gunners generally try to avoid CQB and charges across open terrain these days.

          Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)

          Close-quarters combat (CQC) or close-quarters battle (CQB) is a close combat situation between multiple combatants involving ranged (typically firearm-based) or melee combat.
