Barrett M82A1 Heavy Sniper Rifle * * * * * Magazine: 10 round Caliber: .50 BMG Effective Range: 1500 Meters Accessories: 10x Scope Firing Modes: Semi auto Penatration: Medium Hard Cover Stealth: Noisy, High flash Reload Rate: Slow Personal notes: The Barrett 'Light Fifty' M82A1 was the first .50 caliber sniper rifle to acheive widespread use. Its massive length (1.55m) and weight (13.4 kg) make it one of the most accurate sniper rifles in the world. Extreme care should be used in employing this weapon, as its high powered .50 Browning round can tear through multiple targets just as easily as it can through an engine block. The gun operates on short recoil principles, where the barrel is fitted with a high efficiency muzzle brake to reduce recoil. An adjustable self-leveling bipod aids the sniper in aiming this high-powered rifle. This rifle is most effective while firing in the prone position. Production
Notes: Barrett M82A1 .50 cal. BMG Rifle (1991). The M82A1
is a semi-automatic, air cooled, box magazine fed rifle chambered for the
.50 cal., M2 Browning Machine Gun cartridge (.50 cal. BMG or 12.7 x 99mm
NATO). The weapon system is comprised of the rifle (M82A1), two ten-round
magazines, self-leveling bipod legs, carrying handle, and iron or telescoping
sights. Though used as a sniper rifle, this weapon was procured during
Operation Desert Shield/Storm primarily for use by U.S. Army Explosive
Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units for use as a rifle disrupter of unexploded
ordnance (RIDX). In EOD units, the Barrett M82A1 will be replaced by a
modified Barrett M95 bolt-action rifle, with a projected first unit equipped
date of 1st Qtr CY 02. The Barrett M82A1 has not been type classified.
Notes: This rifle is based
on the Remington model 700, this bolt action rifle is optimized for pinpoint
accuracy. Hand made by specialists at Quantico, the M40A1 is renown for
its competition-grade stainless steel barrel, reinforced fiberglass stock
an 10x power sniper scope. The M40A1 is the preferred sniping rifle among
U.S. Marines.
Notes: Due to it's subsonic
ammunition, and extreme accuracy, this weapon is the enemy's worst nightmare.
The enemy usually doesn't know they are being fired upon unless they see
the dust ploom.
