I've heard the same thing about the .50bmg, but then I've heard rebuttals 
from knowledgable and reliable sources saying those restrictions on the 
use of the .50 against personnel are flat out bunk.  I'd tend to agree, 
what the heck is a .50bmg but a heavy infantry weapon?  I know I was 
aiming at 'enemy' targets when I qualified on it...
