I think it comes down to giving away your position that makes some ppl not use the .50s, not because they require less skill. I know for sure thats why I don't use'em, unless im going tankbusting

It does take more skill because you have to be able to hit moving targets more then once. Your aim has to better, especially w/ headshots. If you shot at someone and don't get a headshot with an SR its going to take more shots to drop him, by that time he knows he's being shot at and trys to run. With a OSOK if you hit them in the chest or his pinky it's done with, that doesn't take much skill to hit someone w/ those guns. But I agree with you because they give your position away which defeats the purpose of sniping. Your aim has to be on point when it takes more then one shot to drop someone, which is why most newer snipers use OSOK rifles. Anyone can master the guns but the M87 and M82 are easier for a newb to get use to. Aim comes from being able to use the weapon right. SR-25 SD and SASR rule all.
