Why are certain weapons banned by the Geneva Convention?
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?

Technically your objective is to "neutralize" the threat, same reason three-sided bayonets and knives are illegal, the wound is much harder to seal and bleeds a lot, also have you seen what a .50 does to a person? It's terrible, they want the bodies to be able to be sent home.
