The .50 caliber rifle has been banned from the battlefields as one shot could take a head clean off

In the USA gun laws can vary from State to State so the list of legal/illegal guns may change from one area to the next

Note: The use of 50 caliber sniper rifles and 50 caliber machine guns have not been banned on the battlefields, they have been in use for decades and are currently still in use in today's armed forces. The military currently uses millimeters as per the metric system to describe the size of the rounds used in its' weapons rather than the term Caliber which was based on 1 inch measurement..

So A 7.62mm round as used in the M16 is a .30 caliber round and A 12.7mm is a .50 caliber round such as is used in the M2HB machine gun as is being used in Iraq/Afghanistan today by US armed forces..

He tends to sit the fence somewhat on this. He says he's in favor of states determining their own firearms laws, and opposed to federal intervention. He did veto bills which would reduce magazine limits and ban .50 rifles, but he also said he supported NJ's gun laws, and refused to contest the law which makes it practically impossible for a NJ resident to get a carry permit.
