Actually, no, the .50 used in the M95 is NOT a discarding sabot round, it's a standard "match-grade" .50BMG round.

There are a few models of other .50 anti-material rifiles, notably the Steyr IWS 2000 that use sabot rounds, but they're still pretty much experimental.

Remember that the sniper rifles definitely have bullet "drop" over distances.. gotta aim up a little bit, takes some practice but you'll be headshotting like a pro in no time.

Personally I prefer the M24 to the M95 even.. not quite as loud and distinctive for one, and you can get one shot kills almost as easily..
this i cant figure out.. When i allow for the bullet drop, i miss. For instance when I do a headshot over quite a distance (say from the opposite of the valley to the first MEC flag out of USMC base on Kubra) with bullet drop compensation, i cant hit jackshit with it. But if i go for a direct headshot, i almost always get the target.

When you could edit your eagames/python/weaponunlocks.txt or something so all weapons were unlocked in SP.

I think he was talking about that day when EA's servers had everyone's weapons unlocked.  It lasted for an entire day back a couple of months ago.  July 26th if memory serves.  They promptly fixed that mistake!
