They just don’t put enough emphasis on basic Physics in the schools anymore. A rifle that would flip a Bradley would likely shear a person’s shoulder and firing arm clean off.

The Barrett would be nice to have, but impractical for an insurgency. All .50 BMG ammo is hideously expensive, heavy, loud, and the good rounds (armor penetrating pyrophoric) are highly restricted. Chasing high caliber is a fools errand. A takedown lever action .22 like the Marlin 39-A would actually make a better choice for an insurgency, because no ragtag militia is going to outrange or outgun the military.

Agreed, because those rifles and ammo are plentiful and cheap.
