Comment on Barrett M107 Anti-Mat. Rifle by 3DFunkee
Take it from someone who knows sniper rifles. Granted, the L115 is good, it is VERY good, but it AIN'T got nothin' on the Barrett rifles. Especially when it comes to Barrett's XM109 anti-material rifle that shoots a 25x59mm OCSW automatic grenade launcher round. Now that'll blow someones ass-cheeks off inside of an Abrams tank!

Sorry to rain on the parade. But, that L115 ain't got nothin' on your good ole Barrett.

Do please check out my 50.cal model
They look purdy good!
Yes I see where your coming from - but at what point does a sniper file become a very accurate piece of field artillery. The point I am making is that for its caliber the L115A3 is unmatched - personally a 50.cal sniper rifle seems massively over powered, and a rifle that fires an HEAT grenade, I would not consider a rifle at all - its an artillery piece
The 109 is no arty piece. Think of it more along the lines of a long range greande launcher with a scope. Hence "Anti-Material Rifle". One man can't carry an arty piece and ammo on his back - mortors neither - but, one can carry the XM109 can his back and only go ask the nearest 20-mil GL-man to supply his with a few feet of link.
Now, go to the middle of this page and read from your rifle's picture to the end of the L115's article: [link]
The bottom, and I quote, says: "It’s an excellent cartridge, and the AWM sounds like a nice rifle, but the Taliban have a lot more cause to be afraid of the American Barrett M82, chambered in .50 Browning Machine Gun (12.7×99mm), which will reach out and touch someone even further and make a bigger hole."
Now, I believe that your weapon is in the top three. Bein' as the M82A1A and the new .416 Barrett are first and second---a very, very close first and second.
It all comes down to grain-count and the bullet's areodynamics (pardon me if I spelled that wrong-lol). The .50 has around 290-grain but not much aerodynamic to it. . . the L115A3's .338 Lapua (8.59mm) has a 250-grain count and a bit of aerodynamic to it. The .416 tromps both with a 400-grain count.
It doesn't come down to the weapon - it comes down to the bullet. Now, your record-holdin' SF Brit (or was he Canadian?) that made that .50 cal. sniper rifle only made his shot after he chambered an American-made .50 cal. round. We make both quality and quantity.
Overall the .50 M2 and the .416 Barret rounds will stay on top for the time bein'. The .338 Lapua (which we also make good sniper rifles for) comes in third. I don't mean to get into an arguement with anyone but, I do love a good match over sniper rifles.
All in good fun, yeah?

I see where you are coming from - however, I do not want an arguement about the statistics - what about the ethics?
The L115A3 has a similar if not exact same range as the Barret 50.cal. Now In my honest view i think that it 50.cal is a superb rifle, however I do think it is far too powerfull. An L115A3's cartridge will easily kill somebody, regardless of what part of the body it hits.
In my honest opinion the Barret is just the American call for bigger guns! the usuall "My weapon will kill you and everyone else in the room" talk, us English have always been too considerate when it comes to fighting - largely down to princess Diana, remarkabley.
I believe in suffitiency, as opposed to power, Surely, the research on a bullet which will rip somebody's head in half could have gone to better purposes, because, you know what, humans a very fragile

They tried to ban the .50 cal. weapons use on humans in war. I laughed my ass off at that article. The thing about the .50 is you can't shoot for the head---well, you can but the reports from Barrett say that the round could still travel at least 5 miles before hittin' the dirt.
Shot a target in the chest with that thing and you've got two parts of a human.
And, yeah, you know us Yanks. We gotta have the biggest shit there is.
