I just found out that using a .50 cal machine gun against people is technically banned by the Geneva Convention, as the .50 is supposed to be used against Vehicles and Materiel only. Why is this? If you are a soldier shooting at another soldier, the objective is to kill them. Wouldn't you use the most potent weapons systems to accomplish this?

Who would want a mangled corpse lying on the ground after he got shot by a .50 MG? Even if he was a baddy, the corspe needs to be removed and buried/cremated and you dont want that process to be messy
