I got into a disagreement with an instructor today about whether or not it is a violation of the laws of war to shoot soldiers with a M2 .50 cal today.
I did a search and found this proving that it is OK to shoot the enemy with a .50. It is a myth that I've heard many times so I am glad to have found a document proving my position:

Note pages 36 and 37
Also there's this from FM 23-65:

Note section 6-4
