Correction: you'd need to be just shy of GOD to keep that gun in battery and fire it while on the move. Most .50 rifles weigh easily as much as a small child, which you've got to hold straight out from your shoulder to take a shot. Because you've got to compensate for this massive freaking leadslinger which is throwing off your center of gravity, you need to lean backwards to maintain your balance... and the recoil alone is powerful enough to knock a weak or inexperienced shooter flat on their ass.
I'm not aware of anyone who can accurately and precisely fire those things from a kneeling position, let alone standing up, and forget running and shooting simultaneously. The thought of jumping and shooting is absolutely fucking hilarious; you can't even do that with medium calibers without going ass over teakettle, and I've yet to even hear about anyone who can jump-shoot any firearm and reasonably expect to hit anything. Bunny Hopping 'snipers' make Sir Isaac Newton cry.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
