Barrett M82 Sniper Rifle
The Barrett M82 (standardized by the U.S. military as the M107) is a semi-automatic anti-material rifle, designed and developed by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing company. It is used by armed forces and special operation units from nearly 60 countries. It is used as a anti-material rifle or as a long-range anti-personnel sniper weapon.
This rifle was designed to destroy sensitive enemy equipment at long distances, which traditionally would have required rocket launchers, recoilless rifles, anti-tank missiles, mortars, or even artillery to engage. These include parked aircraft, radar units, lightly-armored vehicles, trucks, pillboxes, fuel silos and various other important assets at long range. It is also used for remote destruction of explosive ordnance. Despite its anti-material origins, the Barrett M82 is also used as a long-range sniper rifle. It can neutralize enemy snipers at standoff range. The rifle can be also used to hit enemy soldiers, that are hiding behind cover and walls, as its powerful ammunition can penetrate through bricks and concrete. These make the Barrett M82 ideal for raids, special forces applications, harassment of enemy forces, and interdiction missions.
