Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The M82 series operates on a short-recoil semi-automatic mechanism, where upon firing, the barrel recoils a short distance before unlocking from the bolt via a rotating mechanism. This action facilitates reliable cycling, extracting and ejecting spent casings while chambering fresh rounds from a detachable box magazine, capable of holding up to ten rounds. The receiver, crafted from stamped sheet steel, is divided into upper and lower parts, connected by cross-pins for robustness. The heavy barrel features fluting for heat dissipation and is fitted with a large, effective muzzle brake to mitigate recoil. Standard features include scope mounts, folding backup iron sights, and a telescopic sight like the Leupold Mark 4 for precision targeting. This specific example is fitted with a Swarovski Barrett .50 BMG 10x42 Scope.
Today, the Barrett M82A1 is used by more than sixty countries, mainly NATO countries and U.S. allies in Asia and the Middle East. All the major military powers field their own 12.7mm/.50 caliber-class sniper rifles, with Russia’s OSV-96 rifle serving with the Russian Ground Forces and China’s Zijiang M99 serving with the People’s Liberation Army. The Barrett M82A1, the rifle nobody wanted to build, started a revolution.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Barrett M82A1, developed by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, stands as a cornerstone in the realm of anti-materiel rifles, chambered for the potent 12.7×99mm NATO (.50 BMG) cartridge originally designed for heavy machine guns. Founded by Ronnie Barrett specifically for this purpose, the M82A1 entered production in 1989 and quickly gained recognition. Initially sold to the Swedish Army, its pivotal moment came with its adoption by the United States military during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1990. The U.S. Marine Corps procured approximately 125 rifles initially, followed swiftly by orders from the Army and Air Force. Designated the SASR (Special Applications Scoped Rifle), the M82A1 is revered for its role in anti-materiel tasks and explosive ordnance disposal.
