The big .50 caliber known as the M82A1!





Caliber: .50 BMG Magazine: 10-shot detachable box magazine Barrel: 29" Weight: 32.5 lbs Length: 57" overall Stock: Composite with Sorbothane recoil pad. Sights: Scope with ironsights. Max Eff. Range 1830 meters Features: Semi-automatic Recoil operated Recoiling barrel to reduce felt recoil Highly effective Muzzle Brake Three-lug locking bolt Self leveling bi-pod Barrett claims 1 MOA with match ammunition Believe it or not, the M82A1 is not that bad to shoot. The spotter actually suffers more then the shooter (Do to the muzzle brake sending the concussion out and back, usually right into the spotters face). While the potential for extreme long range shooting is there, the current military ammo is not up to the task. There is no military match ammo, and that really kills the accuracy potential of this rifle. Even with match ammo, the rifle will have a hard time holding its claimed 1 MOA, there is just too many moving parts. But, for its designed purpose as a long range hard target interdiction rifle, the M82A1 is hard to beat! Its semi-auto, 10 round capability against a light skinned APC is outstanding.
