anti-materiel work at long distance. Why .50BMG API isn't sufficient I don't know, maybe one of the regional directors is trying to justify a budget increase...

20mm rifles give you the capability of shooting through walls and other obstructions and still hit your target. Do i think the FBI needs it? No. The Army and Marines could definitely use some though. FBI should not be doing blind shooting through walls. In the Military if someone is shooting from you from a house the entire house is the target. A 20mm rifle would work great.

Like the military the FBI has many specialized units. I worked with their Counter Intelligence team in Iraq for about 6 months and i found them very down to earth. I do know that they had other strike teams there as well. If these two guns are for them i have no problem with that. I do not believe that the average field office needs one though.

Holy Hell.
Looks like (from what I can find), that thing is pushing a 100gram (1543 grain) bullet. Wow...
