 "Anti-Material" in the description refers to "materiel" or military hardware, ie. vehicles, turrets, but not infantry.

 You're material
 That LAV is material
 The ground is material
 
 Your face is even material. Nothing more fun than a forge direct hit that just so happened to be a headshot.
 
 Fix the HMG and you can cut the splash radius of my forge.
 
 Except thats wrong, see above post.

How does a merc made of air do anything? How do you hold a gun? 
 Again, its from the french "materiel" which is in ref to military hardware. In english it is supposed to be spelled the same way but usually isnt.
 
 I believe the word you are looking for is "matter." Yes, everything is made of matter, including man and materiel.

"Anti-Material" in the description refers to "materiel" or military hardware, ie. vehicles, turrets, but not infantry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel What about the 50. cal sniper rifle or the 12.7 mm heavy machinegun they are by design anti-material weapons, but they are pretty damnn effective against infantry aswell.  can we just agree that it doesn't matter how pedantic you want to be, a weapon firing a projectile at a speed excess of 7000m/s is just going to **** up whatever it hits? end of the day a weapon designed to pierce through military grade arnour is going to seriously screw up the squishy stuff behind the armour. 
 I don't really care if it can kill infantry or not, would just like to see English not being abused...
