Because it is necessary to kill a fly with a sledge hammer. This is a 1:1 scale version of the Barrett M82, or the more widely known name of Barrett .50 cal. Jon Treasure edited main pic.
About this creation
Well, after countless building hours and Bricklink orders, this beast of a sniper rifle is done. With nearly 3000 pieces, this thing measures 4 feet long and weighs about 6 pounds. I tried to get this model as close to the real Barrett as possible. I included an accurate color scheme (no Pybrick, I'm afraid it's not black ;), attatchments like scope, bipod, and carry handle, and working elements. I think I did a good job.
Info on the real Barrett:
The Barrett M82 is a recoil operated, semi-automatic sniper rifle designed in 1980. It fires a .50 caliber BMG bullet from a 10 round magazine. With a maximum effective range of 5,906 feet, no enemy is safe. Weighing in at around 30 lbs., this sniper is considered a heavy-weight. It's been featured on many video games and movies, and is also used in the millitary.
LEGO Barrett Features:
-Removable magazine
-Color scheme
-Working slide
-Moving trigger
-Moving safety
-Folding bipod
-Spinning knobs on scope
-Rails
-Removable attachments
VIDEO!!!

My Barrett is a little over 4 feet long.

Bipod down.

Modified version of Pybrick scope.

Slide pulled back.

Magazine. This is bigger than you think.

First person.

Looking through the iron sight.

Half-spaced rails

Muzzle brake. Thanks Pybrick. You can also see the barrel. This was tough to make sturdy while still making it round and not to big. I used ALOT of jumper plates for this.



Vents.

One last look.
Note: For all you QuIcK_sCoPeRz out there, yes, the Intervention is a better QS gun. But in terms of actual sniping, the Barrett owns. Period.

ahhhh dude that is sooo freaking awesome!!!! my only ? is did you make the barrel hollow?
Well, yes and no. It is hollow, but only a little bit-- the part where you connect the muzzle brake to the barrel it not hollow. With a few adjustments, I bet I could make it completely hollow :) |

does it shoot? that so cool
Unfortunately no. It is possible with some modifications. The barrel is hollow already, but the whole gun would have to be completely restructured and some detail would have to be sacrificed.... |

Okay, give me one second to pick my jaw up off the floor... okay! We're good! Wow. Um, WOW! That's quite possibly one of the more impressive builds I've seen here on MOCpages. I cannot pick out a single thing wrong with it, or out of scale on it. Now, granted, a firing function would wrap this build up nicely, but seeing everything else you've included totally makes up for it! Fantastic job! Can I give him a 100/5? No? Oh... 1000/5, then! Great build! |
