The 40mm AA gun

I've been able to destroy ships with that gun too. Not sure if I was with TMO or not. I only used it as a emergency really.

I heard the Browning 50. was used as a sniper in Vietnam, and could shoot for a few Kilometers.

In the conning tower of the U-boats there's two MG-42s as well. I wonder what these guns should be for.

It's still used as a sniper rifle today and has been used to great effect in Afghanistan. Some targets having been over a mile away. Just saw a show about it (.50 cal Sniper Rifle) on the Military Channel.
