M82 Sniper Rifle

One of the latest and most efficient American Scoped rifles is the M82 (today called also M107). It was developed by Barrett Firearms company in 1980 and was first used in 1989. Today it is being used by armies and other units all over the world, including American Special forces.

It was designed in two variants:

M82A1 (original) and M82A2 (used the bullpup).

M110 Sniper Rifle

M110 Semi-Automatic sniper rifle was designed to combine perfectly accuracy, firepower, light-weight and rate of firing in one single weapon.

It uses an instant kill 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition, the same as its predecessor M24. Manufacturer Knight's Armament Company tried to keep the M24's accuracy when designing the M110.

AS50 BMG Sniper Rifle

This awesome weapons represents the British attempt at designing the worlds greatest sniper rifle. Similar in design and features to the Barrett M107 .50 caliber sniper rifle, the Accuracy International AS50 certainly exhibits the pinnacle of futuristic sniper rifle engineering. The greatest difficulty to overcome when designing a rifle of such high caliber is how to effectively and efficiently disperse the recoil, and the AS50 employs a free-floating barrel with a dual chamber muzzle brake to accomplish this feat.

One important thing to note about this rifle though, is that it is truly designed as an anti-material weapon, meaning that it is intended to be armor-piercing to take out lightly armored vehicles such as APCs and trucks rather than intended as anti-personnel. However though, the accompanying video definitely stirs the imagination when it shows the melons, the perfect shape for a human head, being blown apart after the round penetrates some concrete blocks. I’m just waiting for the X-ray vision scope to be put on this bad boy, watch out everyone!
