Was there a Russian-style supressed .50 that was like that?

That could be the vintorez ( not sure of spelling)
Short range with integral silencer

And subsonic ammunition. The Vintorez is chambered for 9mm though, not .50.
I’d be surprised, in cases where you need the terminal energy of something like .50BMG, you can probably do without a silencer. Not that it’d do much anyway…

Jumping in, discord and all
Yeah, that’s what I meant. For some reason I thought in the fictional armaverse it was upscaled to 12.7mm.
Public service announcement … DO NOT load two fuel bladders into the back of a pickup truck, there may be unforeseen consequences

For those who don’t know, The Professionals have an amazing record of exploding stuff that is supposedly unexplodable.
…
Ok, ok, I have that dubious record. 
Truth be told both those fuel containers were essentially empty…
Now, I’m going to try something different and steal a car in this place - Agios Konstasntinos
On foot…

OK since I managed to …ehrm… lose two pickup trucks, I need a new toy for the milk runs. Not going to use my brilliant Black SUV for that!
So I reach Agios Konstantinos
and start … window shopping.
Got to be careful … Six policemen are patrolling around.
Luckily they are going the right way, walking away from the village center…
Wow, this place is neat !
WAAAIT!
That looks useful!
Yes, it’s a bit spartan- but we’re not really here to win a beauty contest, am I right?
A quick hop and off we (illegally) go!
Not a lot of fuel in the tank, but it’ll do.
I lose again my undercover status of civilian but by now I know the area a fair bit and I take the same shortcut I used to reach our base from Negades and I’m soon safe again at the HQ.
I take a minute to drag away that white wreck…
Thanks for nothing you useless piece of susceptible trash!
… * Kick * - Thump!
We all know that red cars go faster right? So, once back home I take an Airbrush, borrow a can of red paint and get to work…
Perfetto!

Going to go a second run… Same place, same mission.
While I … ehrr… browse around I notice something that caught the eye of @tempusmurphy , in the previous mission…
Yes it’s exposed, but I guess it’d allow to travel up and down the mountains like a goat. 
The alternatives are
- a mediocre-tinted hatchback…
or
- another pickup
that is being stealthily controlled by the corrupted arm of the law…
Uhm… nope I’m stealing that quad!
BORROWING! Borrowing that quad, dammit.
As soon as I get it I feel exhilarated! This thing is a tiny beast! 
I’m back at the HQ in less that it took to write this sentence…
I do think Tempus would prefer it Sand-tinted…
but by opening the garage, anyone can make it a different color so… 
Enough for tonight. Long live The Professionals!

I went hunting police in that coast town … was tracking a patrol but they seemingly vanished when I was moving between cover but I did see
a very nice looking unattended truck … that is now sat in our garage

Brilliant! I think that is a repair truck!
I had another walk …and during the undercover stroll through the town
nice car … but I carried on and discovered
a roadblock …an audacious plan hatched in my mind, even possibly a cunning plan.
I walked past the roadblock and then dived off the road in to a gully
got my rifle out and readied myself
then put my cunning plan into operation … and then chucked four grenades towards the 4x4 with the 50cal and the 4 troops…
boom boom boom boom
then crept up the embankment, results looked good the gunner on the truck was down as where two of the troops, then suddenly I started taking fire. and received the ominous message
i moved up and dispatched the soldier who was shooting at me and looted his body, as i was about to do the same to the other troops a hail of fire came in and I was forced to retreat.
I got some distance and evaded the patrol and headed back to hq
destroyed roadblock message came up as I made my way home
Long live the professionals

Hooray! Brilliant!
I’ll be at work for an hour more, plus daddy duties…
But I hope to hop in… in about 4 hours? Luck permitting.
I think we might even try to destroy the bigger roadblock in the south. That red ring on the map.
We have one very long range anti material rifle… if one shooter sets up on a hill and takes down the .50 cal gunner, another shooter with grenades and MG fire can draw attention the other way, so the sniper on the hill can re-engage again.

sounds like a good plan … I did pick up a rifle with attached grenade launcher and 6 grenades … but we are lacking optics, and we need to get some more decent weapons … hitting that roadblock might be a good way to get what we need. I should be good for about 8.30ish
