Tips

 * It is advised to combine Faster Firing/Semi Automatic Rifle with this upgrade, since it lets it fire faster, making it far more efficient.

Trivia

 * Point Five Oh is a pun on the bullet caliber .50, which is used in many real sniper rifles, particularly those by Barrett (eg. M82, M107).
 * The head of a Sniper Monkey with this upgrade is the symbol of Easy Difficulty on Extreme tracks.
 * There is a 25-point achievement in SAS: Zombie Assault 3 called "Point 5 Oh". SAS: Zombie Assault 3 is a game made by Ninja Kiwi, the creators of Bloons TD games such as BTD5 and BTD6.
 * In Bloons TD 6, the upgrade is was renamed/replaced with Large Calibre, which functions similarly to the upgrade in BTD5.
