The most powerful sniper rifle in the world?

A sniper rifle refers to a special rifle selected from ordinary rifles or specially designed and manufactured with high shooting accuracy, long range and good reliability. What is it? Many men should be very interested, so let me introduce it to you now.

Barrett's M82A1

Ronnie Barrett***Ronnie Barrett*** was originally just a commercial photographer in Tennessee, USA, and had never received any A firearms enthusiast trained in firearms design. In January 1981, an accidental opportunity prompted Barrett to design a large-caliber semi-automatic sniper rifle. So, from design to manufacturing, he produced a prototype gun in less than a year. Then Barrett established his own company and began trial production in 1982. The M82A1 large-caliber semi-automatic sniper rifle was officially "born".

Barrett M82A1

1982. At that time, the Barrett sniper rifle was mainly aimed at the civilian market, and insufficient attention was paid to its military application. Although the U.S. Navy purchased 100 RAI500s in 1983, it did not trust semi-automatic sniper rifles. By the mid-1980s, Barrett demonstrated the accuracy and power of the M82A1 at Quantico. Although it failed to arouse much interest from the Marine Corps, Barrett kept the military's requirements in mind and made improvements. On the eve of the Gulf War, senior Marine Corps officers discussed equipping infantry weapons for long-range desert operations. Obviously, the M16 rifle fell far short of the requirements. Although some people proposed to reuse the 7.62mm caliber M14 rifle with a longer effective range, this was only a stopgap measure. Finally, Lieutenant General E.T. Cook decided to equip the Marine Corps with a longer range A rifle with greater range and power.

It is one of the most widely used large-caliber sniper rifles and anti-material rifles today.

It almost dominates the .50 sniper rifle market. At present, it has been equipped with the military or police forces of more than 30 countries including the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Spain, and Turkey. . The M82A1 is also widely used in civilian .50 caliber shooting competitions, for shooting competitions at 1,000 yards ***911 meters*** or even longer distances. #+_M82A1 semi-automatic sniper rifle adopts the barrel short recoil principle and semi-automatic firing mode. The short recoil principle of the barrel was developed by the famous firearms designer John M. Browning, and Barrett improved this principle to make it suitable as an automatic principle for shoulder-fired weapons

The M82A1 comes with mechanical sights, and optical sights can also be installed. The original gun is equipped with a 10x scope from Barrett, while the Marine Corps uses the same 10x Unertl scope as the M40A1

The M82A1 can be quickly disassembled into an upper receiver and a lower receiver. 3 parts: magazine and bolt frame. The disassembly pins are located on the right side of the receiver, one in front of the magazine and the other near the buttplate. The upper and lower receivers are the main parts. In order to ensure their strength and wear resistance, high carbon steel materials are selected. The lower receiver is connected to the bipod, gunner's base plate and grip, and its interior includes the bolt components and the main spring device. The upper receiver mainly includes the barrel part, namely the barrel, barrel recoil spring and buffer. Welded to the upper receiver are the mechanical sights, optical sight holder and carrying handle, while welded to the inside are the barrel bushing and barrel stop pin. When fired, the gunpowder gas pushes the warhead forward along the barrel, and at the same time acts on the bottom of the cartridge case, transmitting the thrust to the bolt, and then from the bolt locking protrusion to the barrel sleeve, and finally to the gun through the bolt body. The rear of the machine frame. This can disperse the vibration generated during shooting and avoid damage to the locking mechanism

In response to the shortcomings of the heavy weight of the M82A1, Barrett later studied the M82A1LW, which is the light weight***Light Weight***M82A1 , about 2.3kg lighter than the standard M82A1. The upper receiver and bipod are made of aluminum. The mass of the bolt and frame is reduced by about 0.5kg. The muzzle brake and some small parts are made of titanium alloy. Finished product.

M82A3, with higher accuracy

The US Army's M82A1M SASR*** Special Application Sniper Rifles, special purpose sniper rifle***, is also an improved version of the M82A1, officially named XM107.

M82A1LW is a lightweight ***Light Weight*** M82A1, which is smaller than the standard The M82A1 is about 2.3kg lighter. The upper receiver and bipod are made of aluminum. The mass of the bolt and frame is reduced by about 0.5kg. The muzzle brake and some small parts are made of titanium alloy. The most obvious sign in appearance is that the lightweight M82A1 has canceled the original scope mount and replaced it with an RIS rail extending to the front of the handguard, which can install various aiming devices.

The standard M82A1 becomes a light sniper rifle by replacing some parts.

The M98 is the first medium-caliber semi-automatic sniper rifle produced by Barrett Company. It is a gas-guided automatic mode and a competition-level high-precision rifle. There is a small V-shaped muzzle brake in front of the barrel, and there is an RIS rail on the top of the receiver for mounting the sight.

The upper receiver is made of aluminum alloy, the lower receiver is made of steel, the stock is made of fiberglass, and the handguard is made of polyacetal resin
