Oh yeah.Thats what I am talkin about.

...and if youre not able to shoot them from 2 miles away....you can always beat the hell outta them with the round itself.  :D

Costs about 3-4 dollars everytime you fire it.... (ball) :shock:

It was once believed that Chuck Norris actually lost a fight to a
pirate, but that is a lie, created by Chuck Norris himself to lure more pirates to him. Pirates never were very smart.

I'm not sure if the article reflects this or not, but it's actually been around for a few years as the XM107.  The "X" denotes its expirmental nature.  I know only 2 people that have firsthand experience with it, but both have nothing but praise for it's effectiveness.

This the same rifle as an M82A1, just redesignated.

  Yea, the article did mention that a few times and gave the same praise.  :)

If I remember correctly, the M107 ends up being the M82A3, which is different from the A1 in that it has a rail, removable carry handle, different Bipod, and rear monopod attachment.

The M82A2 is real trippy, its a bullpup.

EDIT -

You're right, Matt.  

It's kind of like the whole civilian AR thing, though.  Certain fielded versions of the M82A1 had improvements made, but were still considered A1's.  So A1, A3, whatever the designation, it's all the M107 now.

Don't the marines get the new(er)A3?

I think it's all considered M107 now, Andy.  All the same blaster.

They DO have M16A3 IIRC.  One of the guys that had an M16 at YPG said it was an A4.  It had a flattop upper and rull length rail, although I don't know if the latter has anything to do with the weapons designation.

  Satelite images routed through a GPS linked computerized scope.  ;)

  Although, if you really want to be scary, sabot in a 7.62mm round and then see how much range you get out of that rifle.   :twisted:

Found this from the article "This meant that the round had a flight time of four seconds, and a drop of 146 feet"

Talk about bullet drop!!  I wonder if they used "Kentucky Windage" of if a Bullet Drop Compensator goes that far.  I think they said it was a 10X scope.

So far..from what I've heard....The Super Sniper scopes are awesome, I believe Tasco makes them(don't let that fool you). They have a higher MOA adjustment than any other scope available and have been getting praises from deployed snipers so far.
