*SOLD* Accuracy International AW50 .50 BMG 27" *HEAVY DUTY "ANTI-MATERIEL" RIFLE*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The AW50, a UK-origin anti-materiel rifle, was developed in the late 1990s as a response to the increasing demand for .50 BMG / 12.7mm NATO rifles. Renowned for its size, weight, and cost, it is also celebrated for its unmatched accuracy, making it one of the most precise rifles in its class. The AW50's design is based on the Arctic Warfare series but differs significantly in its construction. It features a much larger receiver, a highly adjustable folding stock, and a fluted barrel to help manage recoil. Additionally, the rifle is equipped with a highly efficient cylindrical muzzle brake that minimizes recoil and improves shooter control. Its Picatinny rail system allows for various optics to be mounted, ensuring the rifle excels in long-range engagements. Though it lacks iron sights, the AW50’s design is entirely focused on precision, making it a top choice for anti-materiel roles.
Chambered in the powerful 12.7x99mm NATO round, the AW50 utilizes a 5-round box magazine and boasts an effective range of up to 1,500 meters, with potential for longer distances under optimal conditions. Its impressive firepower and accuracy have made it a staple in military and specialized units, particularly in anti-vehicle, anti-material, and long-range sniper roles. The first major adopter was the Australian military, followed by other countries, including Germany and the UK, along with various special forces units across Europe. The AW50 was eventually succeeded by the AX50, but its legacy remains due to its exceptional performance in challenging combat environments, offering both precision and power that few rifles in its class can match.
