Comparison of M-99 Chinese large-caliber anti-materiel weapons and M82 series

The M99 conducted a 1,500-meter accuracy test at the national shooting range. The results showed that its accuracy and 3,000-round gun life and other tactical indicators can meet the national military standards

High shooting accuracy

Compared with similar weapons, high accuracy is the biggest highlight of the M99. The entire gun is light in weight and has low recoil. The height of the shoulder and cheek rests are adjustable, and the height of the tail support is also adjustable. It cooperates with the bipod to support the weight of the entire gun to improve the stability and shooting accuracy of the entire gun during shooting. Coupled with the advanced white light sight, the shooting accuracy of the entire gun is greatly improved. At 100 meters, the M99's Rso (50% bullet dispersion range) density is less than 2.2 cm, which is at the same level as the American M82. When the wind speed is 4 meters/second, the M99 can hit a circle with a radius of 0.5 meters when shooting at a target at 1000 meters; it can hit a circle with a radius of 2.5 meters at a target at 1500 meters; and it can hit a circle with a radius of 2500 meters when shooting at a target. is a 5 meter circle. The M82 sniper rifle is a large-caliber sniper rifle developed by the American Barrett Company. It can use bullets from heavy machine guns and other special ammunition. It has high accuracy, long range, and powerful power. It has become the heavy weapon of choice for American and British special forces.

Become a monk halfway:

Lonnie Barrett was originally a photographer who had never received training in firearms design. By chance, Barrett was determined to design a sniper rifle. After a year of hard work, he completed the design of the new gun, which is the M82 sniper rifle.

Small recoil:

The recoil of the M82 sniper rifle is very small. This is because part of the recoil energy acts on the barrel, machine gun and bolt frame, but the main reason is its high efficiency. The muzzle brake reduces most of the recoil.

Anti-materiel weapons:

Because large-caliber sniper rifles can effectively attack various types of enemy communications, command, transportation, radar facilities and logistics support vehicles, they are also called "Anti-Material Gun". The M82 sniper rifle is one of the representatives. During the 1991 Gulf War, U.S. Marine Corps soldiers used two M82 sniper rifles to destroy four armored transport vehicles.

Multiple uses:

The bipod of the M82A1 is common with the M60 machine gun, and the grip is common with the M16A2 rifle. A telescopic mount can also be installed in front of the M82 sniper rifle magazine. This mount allows the M82A1 to be mounted on a tripod or on a vehicle, boat or other transportation vehicle.
