The MAXIMUM effective range of an M82A1 Barrett .50 cal is 1,800m that means that any shots fired at a distance of greater than 1,800m will not be accurate... Even if you could hit a point target 100/100 times at 1,500m you aren't going to do the same at 2,000m no matter how good you are. At the range we're talking about here it's a LOT of luck.
