The Geneva Conventions do not specifically ban heavy weapons like .50 caliber firearms; however, they aim to protect civilians and limit the means of warfare. The use of heavy weapons can be restricted under international humanitarian law if they cause excessive civilian harm or suffering. Specific treaties, such as the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, may address particular types of weapons and their usage. Ultimately, the legality of using such weapons depends on the context and manner in which they are employed in conflict.
