Bull shite.

If you ever actually did this or know someone who did you'd know it's bs. I am a war veteran and I do not pretend to know the advanced capabilities of our current military. However, at even 2500'/sec, that round is getting spent a lot sooner than the target

I googled "Barrett .50 cal muzzle velocity". Google says the Barrett M82 has a muzzle velocity of 853 m/sec. With no velocity drop (which of course there would be after traveling over 2 miles), it would take 4.045 seconds to travel 3450 meters.

Also, maximum range is listed as 7450 yards. Maximum Effective Range is 2000 yards, so that Canuck was really working some magic.
