LAS VEGAS — The company that made its name building.50-caliber long-range for the U.S. Military has a smaller, but just as formidable, sniper rifle that recently won a defense contract.Joel Miller, director of global military sales for Barrett Firearms, talked with Military Times at this year’s Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show here about both and some changes to a venerable long-distance shooting platform.Miller said that the MRAD contract for the Department of Defense, which is for an undisclosed number of rifles in.300 PRC, emerged from work on other government programs — the and, later, the Advanced Sniper Rifle programs. The contract award does not specify how many rifles the company will build or which entity within the Defense Department will be receiving them. Miller couldn’t provide any further details.But the ASR program continues and will soon enter phase II testing, which could be within the next three months. That will replace existing SOCOM sniper rifles.The.338 NM is quickly becoming a round of choice, as it’s also the caliber of lightweight medium machine gun that Special Operations Command is seeking from industry.

Ballistics experts compare its range and lethality to that of the.50-caliber M2 machine gun but in a much lighter weapon and ammo package.And as far as.50-caliber weapons go, none other than the Browning M2 has quite the recognizability factor as the Barrett sniper rifle, in service since the early 1990s.But even that tech needs updating, which is what Barrett has done. The company won an $8 million contact for the manufacture of M107A1, M107 and M82A1M, Caliber.50 Long Range Sniper Rifle systems with scopes, suppressors and spare parts kits, according to Barrett.

Now the Orcs had 10,000 troops. Soldiers get 300 rounds 5.56 on average. Sidearm 9mm will have another 100. So lets just say that each Soldier is capable of taking out around 150 orcs per. On average, with just M16, it would take 70 Soldiers to kill all the Orcs. That doesn't include 9mm for emergency situations when reloading.
