Default Barrett 107 M .50 cal Sniper rifle


this isn't the full segment form the show "Futureweapons".

This thing has recorded a confirmed kill from 2400 meters, through tin and was designed to take out light armored personnel carriers :shock:

It is capable of firing explosive rounds for those really stubbon vehicles

and the best part is....it's semi automatic

2700 fps....you don't have time to hear the shot

I once tested a .50 rifle when I was in the service. It's frightening to say the less

The US doesn't need to worry about its enemies getting hold of Barretts, as the Hungarian Gepard is also available, and that is more powerful and more accurate, not to mention that there is also a 14.5mm version that is twice as powerful as the Barrett.

Don't you know how the US anything likes to do things? 14.5 mm...eh petty stuff. Read up on the Barrett XM109 let me give you a hint on it's specs, 25mm payloads. A-10 30 mm Avenger canon and F-16 20 mm Vulcan canon for comparison

Of course they don't... and of course they will.. and of course it is...

:roll:

We all know the US sucks at anything it does, makes or tries...

:roll:

we all know the enemies of the US are stronger, better and smarter...

:roll:

...but do we really need you to remind everyone everyday?

Heavy Stuff I must say.

If I'm not mistaking one of these is being used in Michael Mann's latest movie Miami Vice. And it makes HUGE holes in cars, human body and last but not least it takes a big piece out of the backseat as well. I guess it just flies straight through (the whole damn car :shock: )

Such fire power used being used to take out huge animals, and now they just blow human beings with it straight to piece. I have seen a video of a US sniper operating in Iraq before, he beheads his insurgents with one single shot.

btw: Miami Vice is a great movie, I didn't expect it being that good though. The photography is awesome and the soundtrack is superb. Boys with toys


Cheers
