Barrett M82A1 . 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. . 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.

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.
