Home > .50 BMG

 
The .50 Browning Machine Gun (12.7 x 99 mm NATO) or .50 BMG is a cartridge invented for the M2 machine gun that is now also used in high-powered sniper rifles.

A wide variety of ammunition is available including ball, tracer, armor piercing, incendiary and saboted sub-caliber round s. The availability of match grade ammo has increased the usefulness of .50 caliber sniper rifles by allowing more accurate fire than lower quality rounds. Matching the availability and price of the higher-quality .50 ammunition is an impediment to producing large caliber sniper rifles using a different round such as 20 mm or another custom size.
