I would think that the .50BMG would have been 'way more than was needed, since the range was short and there were no barriers to penetrate. The .308 certainly would have worked just fine in that scenario, but I haven't seen any information from a reliable source on what the SEALS actually decided to use. Whatever it was, they made a great choice!NuBer92 wrote:you think they used the .50 BMG or a .308 setup

Re: How SEALs Carried Out Their Mission
This one has to go down as a singular feat of arms in the annals of precision marksmanship.
A double coordinated strike on nonmoving targets is a very difficult feat.
A triple coordinated strike from a moving platform to a moving platform with a hostage inches away is right at the edge of impossibility in my book, even if the range was only around 30 yards.
The SEALS did it anyway. I'm in awe.
