Not to discount the photos and the kill, but rules of engagement used to not allow a Barrett M82A1 .50BMG to be used as an anti-personnel weapon. One had to be firing on a fortified position or vehicle and if a body got smoked, it was considered collateral. Of course, with a range out to 2000 meters it does allow one to snipe these chumps before they can get close enough to hurt someone else and maybe it's being allowed there now.
