and rounds are the ones like the .408, and .50 that are rated for "Anti-material' because you're not 'technically', supposed to use them against troops. You're supposed to use them on Material or equipment. We get around that little loop hole by pointing out "Uniforms are equipment" "Dogtags are equipment" "Sunglasses are equipment" "Helmets are equipment" ect.
For Lowlight. I suspect they gave him the CheyTac instead of the Barrett because they'd already given a Barrett like weapon to Snow job and didn't want to simply reuse it. And people like the concept of "Gun in a box" or 'Gun in a bag" where you slap it together and snipe with it.
In reality real snipers don't do that. It takes dozens if not 100s of rounds to properly Zero in a scope, so you don't just take um off your rifle and put them in a box. Nor do you take them out of a box. click it on the rifle then shoot straight.
That, and the Barret is a hell of a gun to heft around. Just look at their kits: Snow Job is outfitted to camp out for a while, which is good, because a gun like the M82 isn't going anywhere without at least two people; Low Light is traveling light and fast, and relatively speaking, the CheyTac is pretty easy to carry around. In reality, he'd have a small computer to use in conjunction with the rifle to calculate exactly who he needs to shoot, depending on windspeed/direction, cartridge, distance, etc. The Intervention is a true one-man sniper system; the only thing it doesn't do is spot for you.
