Barrett Light 50 Service Rifle
July 22, 2008 11:54 am
The Barrett Model 82 is the most recognized 50 caliber anti-material rifle in the world. In 2005 the US Army officially designated a version of the M82 the M107 and approved it for full material release. The M107 fires a variety of .50BMG rounds and has a listed range of 1,500m, with record shots at the 2,500m range. It is a heavy semi-automatic shoulder-fired sniper rifle designed for an anti-material role.
It has a few changes from the classic M82, with a rear grip and monopod socket as well as a lengthened accessory rail. It is also equipped with a “Leupold 4.5×14 vary X scope”.
Big, Accurate, and Cold.

The Accuracy International Arctic Warfare rifles are well known as highly accurate sniper rifles used by British military snipers, but also popular with civilians and police forces. Famed for accuracy and reliability, this version of the AWSM (Arctic Warfare Super Magnum) is chambered in the high-potency and high accuracy .338 Lapua Magnum.
Dragunov SVD

While surfing around looking for a nice pic of a Dragunov SVU (the bullpup version of the SVD) for another project of mine, I came across this nice photo of a classic SVD that I hadn’t seen before.
DSR-1 Sniper Rifle
May 26, 2007 10:25 am
The DSR-1 is an interesting and impressively accurate sniper rifle. A bullpup design to maximize barrel length while keeping the overall weapon length down, it looks unique because it has two magazine wells - one behind the pistol grip (feeding the bullpup action) and one in the more traditional location in front (which is actually storage, allowing the marksman to quickly load the second clip in by keeping it handy and on the rifle). Chambered in 7.62 NATO, .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum, the DSR-1 literature claims state sub-.2 MOA accuracy (0.20 inch / 5 mm groups measured center-to-center at 100 yards) with correct ammunition out of the box.
Heckler & Koch Week - Day 4 - PSG-1
May 10, 2007 9:43 pm
Supposedly designed in response to the Munich Massacre, the PSG-1 is considered to be one of the most accurate semi-automatic sniper rifles in the world. It is a very accurate and reliable 7.62mm NATO firing rifle based on the design of the classic G3. The only drawback to the PSG-1 is the force with which it ejects spent brass, reportedly sending it up to 10m away which can compromise a military sniper trying to remain hidden.
Cornershot all grown up!

On the subject of the cornershot, this is the evolution of that project. Instead of being a carrier for a 9mm handgun, this version is a one-shot 40mm grenade launcher. Suddenly it’s not about getting a bullseye, close might be good enough.
CornerShot

While talking about hitting things without them knowing where it’s coming from, the cornershot (featured on CSI Miami last season sometime) allows you to set up that shot without exposing yourself, just your handgun. Yeah, it’s a pretty big gun to deliver a 9mm round, but in the right time and place it can probably make quite the difference.
This Calls for an Intervention

The ChayTac M200 Intervention got a nice push into the spotlight from the movie “Shooter”. It is quite the sniper system.
