This is the mother of all rifles. If you can't take your target out with this, you need explosives. This would not be my choice in an urban setting, however. It just carries too much power. It would be great against moving vehicles (kill the engine block), or anything past 500 yards.

This is artillary. Unless you are targeting vehicles at significant ranges it is a little bit too much rifle. On the other hand, military applications are wide open. With ranges like this thing can handle you are almost never in a position where you can't reach a target. Firepower is never to be taken for granted.

In real time this weapon is bar none one of Ronny Barrett's finest designs. Although the acuracy in the personnel target is a little short (300m) and the material target is closer to 2400m on a real good day. True and tried in Afghanastan and in Iraq by a select few trained hands. Even though this is the predicessor to the M82A1 and the fraternal twin to the M107CQB(the Shorter Version) it still holds a quality only Barrett Firearms can manufature and standby.

If you have to have somrthing to take-em out--THIS would be my choice!

I think this is one of the baddest guns out there. I want one

Umm HELL YEAH! I never had a chance to fire this weapon but did get to fire the brother to it. The .50 cal Machine gun invented/perfected before the 1st world war was over by Browning

I've seen the effects of one of these rifles. let me tell you that you dont want to be on the recieving end!!

When it has to be done right the first time.....nothing but mist!!

PRO'S: Superior firepower, great penetration, can defeat light armor, semi-auto for fast back on target situations, intimidation factor is high.

Con's: Expensive, Very heavy, Scares the crap out of John Q Citizen.

Love this gun......

Every law abiding citizen should have at least one!

yes reach out and touch someone

It's a bear to carry at 29 lbs. unloaded but when you need penetration to stop a vehicle or punch through brick or concrete walls this is the go to tool. The .50 caliber round stays supersonic past one mile and packs an awful lot of downrange energy so law enforcement have to be cognizant of that fact when utilizing a weapon of this type. But if they need it to kill engine blocks or penetrate thin skinned armored vehicles at 1000 meters this is weapon for them.

Reach out and say hello to some terrorists with this little door knocker.
