the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) is the biggest bullet you are going to find in a gun still classified as a rifle and not a cannon. the first rifle to be able to shoot this cartrige was the M2 Browning Machine Gun (Ma Duce). however that was a heavy machine gun. the first "sniper rifle" to shoot the .50 BMG was the Barret M82. they have now come out with a new version called the M107 and are currently working on a new rifle. while the M107 and M82 are semi automatic, some gun companies are coming out with bolt action rifles, such as MacMillan, which are more accurate than the barret, simply because it is a bolt action compare to a semi auto an bolt actions will always be more accurate.

Is a rifle the most powerfullest gun ever?

First, it is rifle, not riffle. Second, no, or we would shoot tanks with a rifle. Cannon are more powerful. Finally, depends on the rifle. I have a .22 rifle and a .44 magnum pistol. The pistol is far more powerful than the rifle. I also have a .22 pistol, and a 30-06 rifle. The rifle is far more powerful than the pistol (in THAT example).
