When I was in the military I used to run and quickscope at the enemy with this rifle. Now it seems these pussies just lie there and hardscope. It's all changed since my day.
@FalingHamProductions The free floating barrel increases the accuracy, it has nothing to do with the recoil.. thats what the huge compensator and the hydraulic buffer is for.
@MrLevinho Sieht nach einer M107 aus... eine M82A1 mit durchgehender Picatinny-Schiene, aber die Qualität ist zu niedrig ums zu erkennen... so wie das ZF montiert ist könnte es auch ein M82A1 sein.
Wait!! you can snipe peoples with it? i thought the longest confirmed sniper kill was with this weapon. Either way, that's a load of crap, it just kills them faster so they feel less pain...
@psychoclown420 The longest ever kill was made by Craig Harrison of the Household Cavalry of the British armed forces in 2009 with a L115A3 which isn't even a .50 cal.
@dontmakemeMAD1990 The current Military version is the Barrett M-107. It replaced the M-82A1, 2 and 3 version of this rifle, though the M-82 A's are still in inventory. Outwardly they all look basically alike. The difference is in the action. Improvements to the bolt and carrier, Gas system, feed ramp to accommodate incendiary and explosive rounds and the muzzle brake. They all look basically alike, but are vastly different rifles. A good used M-82 still brings around $5000, A 107, $13K.
@dontmakemeMAD1990 Nope, the various models are a progression of refinements made to the original M-82. The M-107 is the latest in the progression. It has a improved gas system and angular change to the feed ramp to accommodate rounds such as the Rufus and Slap-T. It is akin to the progression from the M-16A1, A2, A3, and finally the M-4. All basically the same in appearance, but very different internally.
@dontmakemeMAD1990 If the M-107 is merely a rename, why do they also list the M-82A1? They are different models. My source is Barrett arms Co. But, as I stated they are essentially the same rifle. A few refinements, angular changes, cosmetic upgrades. Just like the M-16 progression from the A1 to the M-4. And Yes, I meant Raufoss round. They also have D.U.'s for the .50 cals for use on armored targets. The problem with them is the radioactivity.
a rifle is only as good as the ammunition used..google blended metal bullet technology. the u.s army and branches arent allowed to use them as per the geneva con. but theres always blackwater.
Actually I read something about a court ruling that said these can be used on humans. I think it was somewhere on the Wiki page about these guns. Not that anyone pays attention to, or enforces that thing...like the Constitution.... *sigh.
geneva convention >_> correct me if i'm wrong but the US army uses the m107 series as a counter sniper weapon to penetrate cover and reach out to 1800meters. They use dual purpose rounds to ensure kills on soft targets. Geneva convention my ass.
Actually, you can use anything you want on an individual, sort of.
As long as it is a legal weapon of war, the restriction is to use the smallest force necessary to complete the objective. So, if one guy is shooting at you and you are out of ammo and the only ordinance available is a MOAB. You can legally use the MOAB on one guy. HOWEVER, that is obviously unrealistic despite being really really cool.
Basically don't use a .50cal armor round if you can take out your enemy with an M16.
The Barret M82A1 is not an anti-tank rifle. It's an anti-material rifle, and is capable of taking out lightly armored vehicles.
The longest shot resulting in a hit with a .50 BMG under 2,500 meters, which is less than 1.5 miles, not 2 miles, but still a very good shot.
The Geneva convention doesn't bar the use of .50 caliber, it's the Hague. It only limits ammunition designed to cause excessive harm, which is anything not FMJ Ball. M33 is just fine. It only applies to those who signed it.
I don't think they're using many of those just yet. The Chey-Tac is a bit too expensive and low-production to widely field, and there's already a good many Barret M82 and M107s in service.
I don't put much faith into that show. Mack isn't a real SEAL, you can check with VeriSEAL on that when their website comes back up. He also says that a .308 WIN rife's maximum range is 800 yards, but it's commonly used in 1000 yard matches, and there was a confirmed kill with a .308 at a hair past 1400 yards in Afghanistan.
The .50 BMG, with quality copper solids, is capable of 2500 yards. The military is still using lighter FMJ Ball ammunition. Improved munitions are cheaper than rifles.
I know a bit about this stuff. It was my job for a while there, but only a hobby now. But me and a couple other guys, some time ago, went out to try and find out conclusively if Mack was a seal, or if he's nothing more than an actor. While we couldn't find any evidence to disprove it, we couldn't find anything, including with VeriSEAL, to suggest he was. There is no such thing as a classified SEAL, so we're pretty certain he's nothing more than an actor.
Also, TallStuff222 - The .408 CheyTac round is smaller than the .50BMG, but because of how good the ballistic coefficient is, it actually has more power than the .50BMG anywhere past roughly 720 yards.
The .50BMG slows down far sooner than the .408 CheyTac, which is why the smaller round has more power at a distance.
Groupings depend on the day, as any wind gusts will throw the bullet off target.
Against the Geneva convention my ass. The Browning M2 is the same caliber, and it's a machine gun. It's used against people all the time, just like the Barrett is, because the Geneva convention doesn't say shit about it.
few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a A killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
And lastly, I am sure I will take some flak for saying this but the CheyTac Intervention M200 is unlikely to make much of a splash. while from a ballistic point of view the round is good for long range [high velocity, good Ballistic Coefficient] it still cant [from a blunt physics point of view] match the BC of the heavy .50BMG. The impressive long range groups are probably to be attributed to the fact that they were test models, built to higher standards than possible in mass production
'One shot kills' are basically redundant with this. any hit will have a human target in an unfit-for-combat situation, dead or not. the shooter, if aiming at a human target, will aim for center mass so as to increase first shot probability, and realistically any hit will kill the target instantly.
no 'sniper' rifle will, apart from the *extremely* rare subsonic sniper weapons such as the VSSK Vykhlop. the M82 is extremely loud, made moreso [from the shooter's perspective] by the muzzle brake.
The M82 of course is rarely used as an extreme range AP weapon because of its slight inaccuracy. Extreme range rifles are generally manually cycled and rarely have floating barrels or moving chambers, which would negatively alter accuracy properties. It is officially considered a "Special application scoped rifle" and is deployed as a support weapon capable of defeating most light armor, and owing to its semi-automatic nature, is capable of rapid follow-up shots.
it IS against the 'rules of war' to use ammunition that explodes inside human targets. The US policy is that unlawful combatants [though personally i disagree with the term] are not covered by the treaty, but explosive ammunition is still not used by US forces in AP roles.
Commonly used in .50BMG weapons are multi-purpose rounds which combine kinetic, explosive and incendiary properties. they are occasionally used in AP roles, but explode AFTER passing through the body. the legality is dubious
It is not illegal to use .50BMG in an antipersonnel role like the video poster said. It is, however, overkill. .50BMG rifles with ultra low drag boat-tails get insane ballistic coefficients and are occasionally used as ultra-long range AP rifles, just google Tac .50
Okay a lot of people are putting in their two cents without knowing jack about what they are saying, and a few people actually DO know, but noone can sort them out so ill clear a few things up okay?
but even whith the springs and the mussel in the front of the you cant fire more than one shot then you loose the target, but it's so powerfull body armor dossent protect you, so you wont be needing more than one shot. ( this gun is more or less only used fore ''silent'' kills in the army.:)
the gun uses a floating barrel design and has extra springs making the barret very stable and easy to shoot even at the shoulder. the muzzle brake in the front is the key though, i wouldnt want to fire it without it. ouch. if you dont argee with me do some research on the barret m107.
This isn't an anti armor weapon. It's an anti materials weapon used for destroying light skinned vehicles and supplies. It is most commonly shot at ranges of near 1,000 yards. It is a very effective sniper weapon, there is nothing in the Geneva convention about using it on enemy personnel.
Actually, that was the gun for the One Shot One Kill mission. The only target was Zakhaev, and he wasn't meant to die anyway. The regular sniper rifle is an M21 or something like that, which is different.
Stopping power Deep impact and somethimes they dont die but i figure it out. u must take Iron Lungs then when its all steady like after 1.5 secs you can shoot and then its always 1 shot but somethimes sniper sucks in cod4
My dad told me that when he served in the US Army (77 to 80), his superiors would tell him (in response to Geneva) to shoot at the man's webgear, his uniform and his other supplies; if he happened to be behind any of those, that was his fault.
yeah fuck you if your british i read an article about your fucking friendly fire oh and uh we have the most powerful armed forces in the world and we have the fucking bombs and theres nothing any ones gonna do about it, especially you you prick
Actually, 2st3p69x, THE RUSSIANS have the most powerful army in the world; we may have better equipment, but they have the numbers, let me put this in perspective, we have about 5 to 6 thousand nukes, the ruski's have 15,000! they also have more people the china!
no hommie, get your facts straight. the russians havent made a good tank sense the t34. all theve done is update the t52 a bunch of times to get a t 90. they still us ak's even tho there pretty old and there tactics are horrible. our SPECIAL FORCES did in 1 month what the ruskies couldnt do in 8 years in afghanstan. weve takes over afghanastan, they never got a grip on it. THERE STILL FIGHTING THE CHECHENS!
we withdrawled from vietnam because of the vietcong. they attack using guerilla warfare and then withdrew. our outstanding weapons were of little use due to not being able to fight well with them. we left the south vietnamese because there wasnt any progress. a few years later, north vietnam took over, making our affiliation with the south usless. the vietnamese are only strong in their country, not on other soil.
to be honest with you, the vietnamese dont get involved with other countries so i guess their is peace. if their was peace broken which involves the vietnamese, you can bet that we will get involved again... others dont like them much though, then again some others do because of communism.
I'm not an adovocate for military adevnturism, but political popular views really piss me off and dumbs people down. Vietnam has been nvolved against other nations esp. as a proxy of soviet unuion before, i.e. sino-vietnam war, and vietnamese involvement in cambodia which llead to the khmer rougue and their 4 millions kill genocide tally. Yet it's all the time, we armed them, the hell we armed the, we were fighting other people, we also armed other factions, but today we are enemies of laden&co.
Who also trained and supplied the Afghans too against the Soviets? So this is what you have. A smart leader, yes. Constant supplies, yes. Training, yes. Numbers, yes. And fighting an enemy in territory they've never been in, yes.
ilwayz your a sick fuck... you typical violent american.... thats why most of the world hates you.... not all americans lots of americans are cool but ilwayz is the reason terrorists kill you...
If you're engaging personell at a range where only a .50 cal rifle would be effective, you wouldn't hit anything in 99% of the cases anyway due to wind and general ballistics. This is why the M82 is used as an anti-material rifle against bigger armored targets for example. For anti personell work, it is alot more effective to use smaller calibers, and at closer range, since pretty much every possible hit on smaller targets beyond 3000ft is pure lucky shots.
its perfectly within the guidelines of the geneva convention to shoot people with a .50BMG cartridge, most of the worlds armies have these or the russian equivalent. What IS illegal is to shoot people with the RAUFOSS round which is an armor piercing explosive incindiary round
Thank you. I was going ot say it, but you beat me to the punchline. Besides, the US doesn't subscribe to half the treaties that govern the use of this type of weapon. AP or otherwise, the US deploy a number of munitions on soft targets with this type of gun. And personally I don't have a problem with it myself - kill more I say.
wow. are u kiddin me. u would have to be a demented person to wanna shoot another human with a .50, it could literally break u in two pieces, or a million. more like use it to shoot down a cessna
no your demented. if some guy was about to blow him self up in the middle of disney world, and all you had was a 50 cal round. I think you would use it.
fuck i would rather take the quick death from a .50 than a slow bleeding death from a smaller round. and if you can shoot down a flying aircraft with a semi automatic weapon with a 10 round magazine you are my new hero.
The USA have not signed the St. Petersburg Convention so it is legal for them to use these cartdridges against personnel...Though legal does not necessarily mean it is cool to do it...
Contrary to popular belief it is not the Geneva Convention which regulates the usage of this or that type of ammunition or weapon against this or that target (being the Geneva Conventions a bunch of treatises on the treatment of POWs and injured personnel captured in combat, as well as an effort to assure the non-targetability of medical personnel and non-combatants in the Theatre of War).
hey dude, geneva said not to shoot a man with a .50 cal, "anti-armor"? xD, but in the military they say to shoot the man's faituges, web gear, and supplies, if he happens to be behind them, that's his fault

but even whith the springs and the mussel in the front of the you cant fire more than one shot then you loose the target, but it's so powerfull body armor dossent protect you, so you wont be needing more than one shot. ( this gun is more or less only used fore ''silent'' kills in the army.:)

82 is a veary powerfull wep but u have to get one shot kill cos of recoyl
repzyree 3 years ago
the gun uses a floating barrel design and has extra springs making the barret very stable and easy to shoot even at the shoulder. the muzzle brake in the front is the key though, i wouldnt want to fire it without it. ouch. if you dont argee with me do some research on the barret m107.

The cheytac M200 isn't even being used in the military yet i think. Its still in a few testings... I could be wrong though lol

Cheytac M200 is better. Search that rifle people. .408 cal, longest distance shot holder, etc. looks nicer too. But i like the M82 and M200.

No, they just no how to deal with the recoil and know exactly where to put the butt of the gun for maximum accuracy.

This isn't an anti armor weapon. It's an anti materials weapon used for destroying light skinned vehicles and supplies. It is most commonly shot at ranges of near 1,000 yards. It is a very effective sniper weapon, there is nothing in the Geneva convention about using it on enemy personnel.

Actually, that was the gun for the One Shot One Kill mission. The only target was Zakhaev, and he wasn't meant to die anyway. The regular sniper rifle is an M21 or something like that, which is different.
Bottom line: It's a game.

My dad told me that when he served in the US Army (77 to 80), his superiors would tell him (in response to Geneva) to shoot at the man's webgear, his uniform and his other supplies; if he happened to be behind any of those, that was his fault.

Actually, 2st3p69x, THE RUSSIANS have the most powerful army in the world; we may have better equipment, but they have the numbers, let me put this in perspective, we have about 5 to 6 thousand nukes, the ruski's have 15,000! they also have more people the china!
Rambo1639 4 years ago
no hommie, get your facts straight. the russians havent made a good tank sense the t34. all theve done is update the t52 a bunch of times to get a t 90. they still us ak's even tho there pretty old and there tactics are horrible. our SPECIAL FORCES did in 1 month what the ruskies couldnt do in 8 years in afghanstan. weve takes over afghanastan, they never got a grip on it. THERE STILL FIGHTING THE CHECHENS!

Wiegieboard 4 years ago
we withdrawled from vietnam because of the vietcong. they attack using guerilla warfare and then withdrew. our outstanding weapons were of little use due to not being able to fight well with them. we left the south vietnamese because there wasnt any progress. a few years later, north vietnam took over, making our affiliation with the south usless. the vietnamese are only strong in their country, not on other soil.
GorillaWriter 3 years ago
awesome history. Does Vietnam ever raid other countries these days or are they mostly at peace with other nations now?
Roossccoo 3 years ago
to be honest with you, the vietnamese dont get involved with other countries so i guess their is peace. if their was peace broken which involves the vietnamese, you can bet that we will get involved again... others dont like them much though, then again some others do because of communism.
GorillaWriter 3 years ago
I'm not an adovocate for military adevnturism, but political popular views really piss me off and dumbs people down. Vietnam has been nvolved against other nations esp. as a proxy of soviet unuion before, i.e. sino-vietnam war, and vietnamese involvement in cambodia which llead to the khmer rougue and their 4 millions kill genocide tally. Yet it's all the time, we armed them, the hell we armed the, we were fighting other people, we also armed other factions, but today we are enemies of laden&co.

Who also trained and supplied the Afghans too against the Soviets? So this is what you have. A smart leader, yes. Constant supplies, yes. Training, yes. Numbers, yes. And fighting an enemy in territory they've never been in, yes.

MasterCheifn343 4 years ago
If you're engaging personell at a range where only a .50 cal rifle would be effective, you wouldn't hit anything in 99% of the cases anyway due to wind and general ballistics. This is why the M82 is used as an anti-material rifle against bigger armored targets for example. For anti personell work, it is alot more effective to use smaller calibers, and at closer range, since pretty much every possible hit on smaller targets beyond 3000ft is pure lucky shots.

illwayz313 4 years ago
its perfectly within the guidelines of the geneva convention to shoot people with a .50BMG cartridge, most of the worlds armies have these or the russian equivalent. What IS illegal is to shoot people with the RAUFOSS round which is an armor piercing explosive incindiary round
Dszlos 5 years ago
Thank you. I was going ot say it, but you beat me to the punchline. Besides, the US doesn't subscribe to half the treaties that govern the use of this type of weapon. AP or otherwise, the US deploy a number of munitions on soft targets with this type of gun. And personally I don't have a problem with it myself - kill more I say.

KoreansRock1 5 years ago
Contrary to popular belief it is not the Geneva Convention which regulates the usage of this or that type of ammunition or weapon against this or that target (being the Geneva Conventions a bunch of treatises on the treatment of POWs and injured personnel captured in combat, as well as an effort to assure the non-targetability of medical personnel and non-combatants in the Theatre of War).
