Well, a .50 BMG cartridge produces something like 3200 fps with a 750 grain projectile. So the energy is astronomical. But, I agree with your conclusion that banning them because they are more dangerous than some other weapon is nuts. I can't swing the $3000+ price tag, they are indeed heavy (20+ pounds) and aren't used to commit crimes.
