And WHERE did I say the rifle was a Barrett? I provided a random link to explain the power of ANY .50 caliber sniper rifle, I never said "Swagger is armed with a BARRETT .50 caliber sniper rifle", did I? Opening post states "Swagger is armed with a .50 caliber sniper rifle."
So you just randomly posted links to a Barrett? No, you're not the only one that knows what a .50 is lol, we don't need you to post up a random link to a rifle which Swagger is apparently NOT going to use.

Wow, thanks for the picture, or else I would have had no idea what a scope looks like.
Posting up a picture of an item doesn't make it standard.

It was stated by a character who knows what counter intel is, who is trained in counter intel, therefore Swagger is trained in counter intel. So what if it's a directorial error? That's irreverent. Fact is they were trying to express that Swagger is trained in counter intel, that's all that matters.
Fail. If he knew what counter-intel was, why would he even saying taking a picture of number plates counts as counter-intel when its not?
Thats the lamest excuse you've provided. There is effectively no where in the film does it show that Swagger is "an expert" at counter-intel. Just admit defeat on this one.

Did you want me to list any and all sniper gear in the opening post, from shoelaces to fatigue camo patterns? "The works" is a loose term to describe all of the gear Swagger knows how to use. And yes, snipers carry claymore mines. Research it.
No. Shoe laces isn't sniper gear. Claymore mines isn't sniper gear.
Everyone wears shoe laces, and any soldier can carry mines. Maybe you should research it.
Don't bluff with someone who knows their stuff. I'm very glad you decided to engage me on a military technical level, cause you're going to lose badly.
Face it, you specifically mentioned "standard gear", then you added in "the works" (ambiguity anyone?) so you can include any equipment you see fit later in the debate, such as a thermal scope.
