M82/M107 .50 caliber Barrett sniper rifle

The M82 and the most recent evolution the M107 are both versions of the same weapon: the .50 caliber Barrett sniper rifle. It’s the most representative sniper rifle, because of its incredible rage (1.5 kilometers) and currently holds the record at 2.5 kilometers. There is no significant difference between the M107 designation ant the last upgrade of the M82: M82A1M.

So why is it so popular? Well probably because there isn’t any armor available yet that can withstand it, and it can actually penetrate vehicle armor! In the ’90s the US military ordered a 125 such weapons to be used in Kuwait and the Iraq war. After seeing it was a definitive success, they wanted some modifications to it, so the most recent model M82A1M was created, which features some changes like the scope railing being adapted to other types of scopes, less recoil, and the cartridge holder being placed behind the trigger.

All these modifications allowed the M82 to be shot from the shoulder. Have a look at the slideshow photo gallery and at the two cool videos I included in this post, to get the feel of the M107 .50 cal sniper rifle!

And here’s an example of the recoil you can expect when firing it! Amazing!

  16. WOW! talk about COD4 I have played both M.W1 & M.W.2 its way not real life fighting our USA troups take in each day. I would like to shoot this sweet gun. I have been doing ALOT of reaserch on eaverything I can know about the Barrett .50 cal-semi auto sniper rifle. I have seen many prone positionas on firing & in not one of those vidio’s did the shooter rip his shoulder off, due to VERY LITTLE recoil action

  17. Obviously a rifle that fires 0.50 BMG is going to have a fairly fierce recoil, but it doesn’t look as bad as I’d have expected.
    I’d love a chance to fire one. I guess the price of the ammo is going to be fairly frightening, like £5 – £10 a shot
