Barrett M107 .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle

Damn, the bullet is F**king huge

i sor one of these at the gun club
it was selling for 8,000

yes, I see but, other then anti-vehicle what is such a large gun good for, it will cut infantry armor to shreds in a second, but thats the same thing an M-16 or an A-10 auto shotgun could do.

Economic to YOU and to the US Armed Forces are very different things. VASTLY more economic than a lot of alternatives. And the Barret was founded in 1982, the round might be old but the semi auto M107 is from 1989. Not the future I agree but Discovery Channel ran out of future weapons a while back...

Guns like the Denel NTW 20s do require two men to deploy but they do NOT need to be bolted down.

In fact the Denel NTW is marketed as being for rapid deployment with just two men as a counter sniper or counter artilery device. The barrel is quickly removed and carried with the ammo by one man and the other uses the integrated handle to sling the rest of the gun over his back. There used to be a good marketing video here on YouTube but I can't find it anymore.

yes, but those types of guns need to be mounted and bolted down, they can not be hand carried and require two people to operate.

I was referring to the largest cartridge possible for the gun which can go up to 2000 grain (custom built, before the chamber bursts). The standered round is 750 grain for hunting buffalo. Who are you calling a tool by the way? I just burned this guys theories in under a microsecond. If he thinks the .50 cal is futuristic he has a serious tumor growing out of his skull, this rifle is as old as Roosevelt. It is not in the slightest economic. Unlike him ive fired both guns (.557 T-Rex and .50 cal)

Not to mention the cost savings .50 BMGs get by having a bore of 1/2" or less meaning they are not destructive devices and can easily be purchased by the US public meaning economies of scale bring costs WAY down.

If you want the biggest rifle there are things MUCH bigger than the .50 BMG and .577 rounds. A hand full of companies make anti-material rifles that fire 20x82 and 20x102 rounds

Richard Machowicz served with the US Navy SEALs for 10 years in addition to being a Naval Special Warfare Combat Fighting Instructor, as well as a Naval Special Warfare Scout/Sniper. Yes he made a mistake in using the word "round" but it's a show on discovery channel for slack jawed tools like yourself.

The .577 (both Nitro Express and T-rex) are 750 grain rounds not 2000 and produces LESS energy than the .50 BMG not to mention have TERRIBLE ballistics.

the ak-47 don't fire a 308.??? wtf is this guys problem

yes it is but the on of halo has different scope

isn't that the sniper rifle from halo

An AK-47 shoots the 7.62x39mm round. It can use a 308 BULLET, but it will not shoot a 308 ROUND. This guy is DNS (Dumber 'n' Sh*t).

Well maybe not 10 k, but the bullets will cost you as well, it ain't cheap.

10 rounds that fast.....you know he is in pain. Hell, 3 rounds from my .30-06 one after the other is painful enough.

Why is this guy so excited? This rifle has been around since 1917 (in earlier wooden forms), plus a .577 beats the .50 cal in terms of firepower.
50 cal = 800 grain bullet
.577 rifle = 2000 grain bullet.
do the math. Plus the only way for this rifle to pierce armor is if it was using DU rounds, which are hard to find. Its more economic if you go up against an apache helicopter with a 9mm pistol. This guy knows nothing about guns, he is not a navy seal, he is a loonie for the discovery channel.

if iwas an iraqi and i saw tht comin id crap my pants.. lol

i want that gun

Ive fired one of these babies,im in the US army myself! :)

holy F**k cal is huge!!

Barrets are normally only carried by spec. ops or the occasion, a standard sniper...not standard infantry

Are The Marines Holding Up These Types Of Guns In There Infantry ?

1:shut up about stats,
2:This gun has been around for ages, the IRA had one and wreaked havoc on the army in Ireland.
3:shut up about bullet specs.
