If this is so, Israeli snipers are the only ones I am aware of who are capable of firing a .50 caliber round at a target casing and all.Were the "snipers" handing out free samples afterward, or did the Quds News Network just tacitly admit Hamas is storing .50 calibre ammunition in a hospital?

Well, it looks like the powder hasn't been spent and that armor piercing tip is still intact...With what, a slingshot?
They couldn't find five stones.With what, a slingshot?
But this leads back to Ransom's question: "Were the "snipers" handing out free samples afterward...?"In their defense they are showing what type of ordnance is being used. They are not claiming that the cartridge shown was found in the hospital. I could post a photo of a jet fighter and say this is the type of aircraft being used for airstrikes without meaning that the plane was found in the hospital parking ramp.
I believe that both of you are assuming that the photo is actually in Gaza at a hospital which I seriously doubt.But this leads back to Ransom's question: "Were the "snipers" handing out free samples afterward...?"
Because Hamas would never stoop to using hospitals or refugee centers to store ammo, would they?I believe that both of you are assuming that the photo is actually in Gaza at a hospital which I seriously doubt.

from the looks of it that 50 caliber round in the picture is not even usable.... unless the photograph itself was tweeked then the cartridge itself was damaged - and the bullet appears to be disodged from it;s casing and bent to the left..... . it would never load normally into a 50 cal machine gun chamber and would cause the gun to jam... which would then cause the operator to pull back the action and charge the weapon twice - thus ejecting both the damaged shell and one good one to restore the gun to a loaded usable condition.... in combat those kinds of live ejected shells are usually left where they lay.... .. . so as much as i hate to defend anything said by hamas it might be they are right about 50 cals being used by israel in gaza.... .... but.. in defense of israel.... why is that a bad thing?..... . they are in an urban combat situation trying to break through fortified concrete walls.... something like a 50 cal ma duece is exactly what they need..... and it;s gauranteed that if hamas had them they would be using them too..... .Were the "snipers" handing out free samples afterward, or did the Quds News Network just tacitly admit Hamas is storing .50 calibre ammunition in a hospital?
