The Davidians did NOT have a .50 cal machine gun. They did have a semi automatic magazine fed Barret Model 82.
The decision to use tanks, specifically tank retrievers (instead of the Bradley's they were previously using) was because HRT snipers had ID'd the .50 cal sniper rifles and Koresh told FBI negotiators that he had larger munitions than the .50 cals.
The Feds feared that the Bradley's armor would not be able to stop the munitions that Koresh alluded to having.
