As far as I know, .50 sniper rifles are for sale in the US. Not that I'd
view it as the definitive source, but More Guns! says about the Barrett
M82A1: "its construction as semi-auto only and lack of restrictions by the
manufacturer on sales qualify it as a civilian weapon." This is a book
from 1993, so by now things may have changed, of course.
BTW, if you look at the opening story in the Elven Fire adventure, the
Ranger Arms SM-3 is described as a .655 caliber weapon.
