Barrett Light .50 caliber Sniper Rifle
Magazine: 8 round (the magazine holds 10 rounds, but experts
only use 8 to avoid jamming)
Accessories: 10x Scope
Effective Range: 1500 meters
The Barrett 0.50 'Light Fifty' model 82A1 is a long-range
hard target interdiction weapon. The gun operates on short
recoil principles, where the barrel is fitted with a high-efficiency
muzzle brake to reduce recoil. An adjustable self-leveling
bipod aids the sniper in aiming this high-powered rifle. The
Barrett is heavy and cannot be fired accurately while moving.
Snipers are most accurate in the prone position with the Barrett.
