It has been reported that the muzzle blast "sound" of a .50 BMG is at or above 180 decibels at a distances up to around 5 feet. That is enough overpressure to cause permanent hearing loss. Note: adding a muzzle blast deflector/muzzle break to the barrel of a .50, directs the pressure wave at an oblique angle along the axis of the barrel. In other words - you don't want to stand, sit or lay prone outside the angle of that blast when the weapon is fired.

How heavy is a 50 caliber sniper rifle?

12 - 15 lbs Actually, modern-day .50 caliber sniper rifles are considerably heavier than the above quote (the above weight is typical for a 7.62mm or equivalent sniper rifle). The "prototypical" 0.50 cal sniper rifle is the US's M82, made by Beretta. It weighs anywhere from 25 to 35 lbs, depending on model and attachments. Remember that a .50 cal (or 12.5mm) sniper cartridge is almost three times the volume, and five times the weight, as a 7.62mm cartridge, which means the rest of the rifle must be very significantly beefier than a 7.62mm rifle.
