A 50 doesn't make a pop, it's friggin loud, and a deeper rumble of a sound. Growing up I could hear the slow fire of 50 machine guns from the local army base gun range and that was over 10 miles away. Also I think the plane was over 3000 feet up. Yeah, a 50 will shoot that far, but it's a lot easier to shoot flat than up, and especially hard to hit a target moving a couple hundred miles per hour. Stinger a much more likely scenario, but one that we'd never hear the truth about if it was the case, same as with TWA800 in my paranoid conspiracy opinion.
