Erm... The M2 Browning Machine gun is basically a "rapid fire anti-material rifle" as well. The "anti material rifles" of many countries actually fire .50 BMG rounds.

@antonhengst8667 The M2 is pretty darned accurate though. Even at longer ranges. Plus: full auto capability.

@allangibson2408 Yes. Also, while I can't confirm the source. I heard about some crazy antics with the M2 in Vietnam. Apparently someoned had mounted a scope to an M2 and was able to use it for highly accurate long range shots by being gentle with the trigger so as to only fire it in a semi auto fashion. While this is a rumour I can't substantiate, i'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt due to the ballistic properties of the .50 BMG cartridge and general knowledge about the accuracy of the M2 platform. Will it be as "portable" as an M82 using the same cartridge? No, of course not. Do I believe that you could, theoretically hit targets at ranges similar to what you can do with an M82 if you put a magnified scope onto an M2? I'll have to say yes.

@antonhengst8667 Could be cool yes, but I suppose the M82 anti-material rifle was made for that purpose. These DhsK's seems to be some sort of cross concept between the M2 and the M82
