    The CheyTac M200 Intervention is a massive precision rifle chambered for the .408 CheyTac cartridge (although it can also be had in .375 CheyTac). It uses an action made by EDM Arms, and is capable of sub-MOA accuracy out to 2200-2500 yards (2000-2300 meters). There are other rifles that fulfill those specs as well, but the M200 Intervention gets an exaggerated amount of attention because it has a pretty distinctive look, with its large under-barrel carry handle and collapsing stock (you may recognize it from the 2007 movie "Shooter", based on a Stephen Hunter novel). Today I will take a look at some of the details of this rifle and its ammunition, and address the more common misunderstandings about it and long range shooting in general.

    Finally someone makes a real video over this rifle, like you said, there's not a lot of info on the M200. As I've traveled states to film for events I've only seen one replica before and a manufacturer rep told me it was slightly lighter than the real thing but it was still an uncomfortable experience to handle, real respect goes out to the man who had to lug a real one to any location of distance.

      Back in the US-Russian war, i was prone, just before the boundry.
      I had this gun, i scoped in on the helipad.
      Squeezed the trigger whilst aiming for a single soldier, but just as the bullet passed through his skull his friend ran up behind him.
      Double-kill w/ Headshots
      I was the best sniper in america, i've been everywhere.
      From operation firestorm, to operation locker, i've rained 408 Cal death from 500 yards out.
      My longest kill was from a helicopter i had my friend stabilize it while i rode in the back, 1080 yards out, took a good two seconds to pop him.
      I think it was operation paracel storm, he was camping like a noob on the broken aircraft carrier.
      Those where the days, i used to be able to run all day every day.
      My old age has gotten to me unfortunately, and my sniping skills have deteriorated.
      I only made it to rank 83, i miss being out there, hiding in a bbush, on a small hill in the back of the O-Z, racked up around 100 kills, with all different types of guns.
      Through my service, i've seen some things... done some things that i wish i hadn't.
      I was at lancing damn, the year was 2015.
      There was a cool breeze, and a constant fear of the damn breaking.
      In short, i hid away atop the large office buildings.
      I saw something move in the distance, scoped in with my 20X-14X scope
      I had my sights on the cockpit of an enemy helicopter, just spawned.
      Not 10 seconds late i saw one of them chinese soldiers pop into the cockpit.
      Boom
      Helicopter goes down, mass chaos.
      Two kills.
      I see their faces everyday, mostly because every person in the O-Z where clones of eachother.

    In case anyone is wondering, "Dohicky" is an industry term, and was chosen mainly for its compact form factor and ease-of-use. During the military testing process, it's primary competition was "Thingamabob". "Whatchamacallit" was also in the running, but dropped out earlier in the stress testing phase, as it was shown that its length and general overall unwieldiness prevented it from being used effectively.

    yes it is true i fought all over the globe and the only thing i had was my good ol trusty Cheytac and a bottle of mountain dew.
    That where the good days ,,,, fighting side by side with my sqaud mates XDonDeathclawX , don diablo and don dimago those where the days for sure ,,,,, and ofcourse Owning those pesky squeakers while trowing insults at them. HaHa we gave them so much hell thats for sure.

      i wouldnt be so quick to diminish video games, their potential for cognitive conditioning is already quite well known in the medical business ( alot of surgeons play videogames for that reason). Not only does regular playtime increase reflexes and finesse , it also shows clear improvement in rapid decision making , which all quite frankly is what a good shooter needs.
      So one could argue , that chances increase when you start playing them..

      I get what your saying. He just spent ten minutes giving a concise history, and a detailed description of the features of, what is essentially, a masterful work of engineering, the culmination of great minds, and passionate craftsmen, just to have someone watch it and ask "yes, but can you quickscope with it?" It is asinine, and a little disrespectful, but I guess its to be expected, and maybe when they grow up they'll have a bit more appreciation for firearms after watching vids like this, rather than vids uploaded by people with "look, it makes a loud bang!!!" mentality from the "dual-wielding, full auto, exploding zombies" channels, that like to cater to the simple minded, easily amused children that make up an alarming portion of youtube viewers. (im just venting a bit really) Thanks Ian for keeping your feet on the ground, and not acting like a tacticool tool.

    That gun is featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and used frequently in multiplayer where the players are often running around with it quick scoping despite its massive weight and the player's goofy grip on the rifle. In MW2, the M200 Intervention does not negatively affect mobility while guns like the M4A1 are about 3/4ths as mobile.

    It hurts... nostalgia for the days when I took a 3000 metre shot at some bad guys in Pripyat after killing about 50 of them and camping for a week in a building without them finding the bodies... oh, I was just a leftenant back then. Now I'm old, have 10th prestige, and have been in SAS, 75th Regt., 1st SFOD Delta, TF141, Spetsnaz, Opfor, and Marine Force Recon. Life is dull now that I have no family and only all gold guns on my wall. All I can do is sit here, watching cable whilst drinking mountain dew. Sometimes I think back to when I fought on all 20 maps around the world, died about 3000 times, and screamed like a girl into the mic at enemies on the battlefield. Once, I got four care packages taken away from me, so I killed 25 enemies with a helicopter then just nuked the whole place. A nuke within a mile of me hurt, but I walked away just fine, and I brought my kdr up above 1 before quitting the specfor because I had trouble with nightmares from slaughtering hundreds of civvies in a russian airport in an attempt to start WW3. Makarov shot me in the head and they found my body, so I had to go to the Favela to find the shell that was right next to me when I died. I went to defend America and killed a few hundred ruskies with a laptop and missiles, then I went in an AC130 and killed even more. I proceeded to take Washington D.C. with just my M4 and a flare. After being lit on fire, I went to kill the traitorous general. I stormed an outpost full of elite men and killed em all, no big deal. Then while I had been stabbed I pulled the knife out of my stomach and threw it at his eye lol. A few days later, I was recovered and I went after Makarov. Then I died and I had to go hang him from the helipad on his highrise in dubai. Then I smoked a cigar while watching his body swing around. So yeah. I guess you could say that I've seen some shit. I have this gun still on my wall with gold camo.

    .408 cheytac: 420 grain bullet @ 3000 FPS, 8395 lb ft of muzzle energy, copper nickel alloy, G1 BC 0.949 over 2 miles, supersonic range 2575 yds, balance flight means that bullet doesn't lose accuracy though sound barrier, is accurate to 3500 yds, first round hits and 0.5 moa accuracy at 2500 yds, max range 3500 yds+, 29" barrel

    .408 has huge advantage over both rounds . over 625 yds the 408 cheytac has more kinetic energy than the .50 bmg and talking about power and penetration, the 408 cheytac ap round penetrates 24mm of hard steel but the .50 bmg ap, API and api-t penetrate just 22mm. even with hornady a max bullets, the best 50 bmg bullets, they only have a max range and supersonic range of 2200 yards and don't have balanced flight, so are completely useless after that, while 408 bullet are useful to 3500 yds and beyond

      As Simon Woo said, a railgun in this context is a big, blocky rifle-like thing in an ultra-precise mounting. They basically cut out all (or at least most) physical interaction with the shooter.
      They also tend to weigh a huge amount.

  • @Vulf_Faolan

    A large part of the popularity of this gun, as you might have guessed from the comments, comes from the game Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 where the gun features quite prominently in both the single player and multiplayer modes. The gun is 'endgame' material and is enough to kill enemies and other players in a single shot, but the game features nothing that would be considered long range shooting. In essence, and contrary to its real life variant, weapons like this, the CoD4's M82, Counter-Strikes AWM etc, require no skill to be used effectively, allowing players to kill other players at close range with a single shot to any part of the body while their enemies will be using guns that can take upwards of 6 shots to kill them in return. You obviously don't have to deal with the weight and bulk of these weapons in a video game and they basically take on the form of a high power pump-action shotgun but with pinpoint accuracy and no spread (Where the "No scope" obsession comes from). That imbues the player using it with a great sense of skill, power and strength, a false sense of being some amazing legendary Sniper, and a bond between the player and the weapon that makes them feel that way forms. Of course Airsoft companies follow these kinds of things. Some people would argue that the guns that feature in many of these games are just based on Airsoft models, and there is some truth to that, but in many cases it's the Airsoft company basing a gun on "Which is the most popular gun in the most popular game right now".

      It's gaming man, it doesn't require much skill period. LOL. Just time. Anyone can sit down and kick ass at a game in 10 minutes. That's one of the reasons gaming never took off for me, anyone can do it easily, anyone can sit down, after 10 minutes play and win. I prefer some more talented arts, I guess you could say. Some games are fun though(I was the biggest borderlands 2 fan ever) but I digress. Plus, a few common knowledge bits on soldering and circuits, I can create a modded controller(also in 10 minutes) that'll completely destroy your gaming world. Gaming is very easy to do, very easy to be ruined. Not my cup of tea. LOL.

    I like most of your videos, I love the backstory about the weapons and how you present the facts and you also dispel the myths while showing a respect to the history of each and the men who have a love of the weapon due to how it served them or kept them and their buddies alive, this is not a forgotten weapon by any means but it's an awesome delivery system in the hands of those who've devoted themselves to the discipline of mastering it and honed their skills by their utter dedication to their craft, I've heard the tactical and technical gurus discuss this rifle but I feel I've gained more from your quick review than I did watching all of theirs combined and at the end of the day I just respect the hell out of your opinion and although I don't always agree with you it's because my opinions are based on what little I know and yours are the culmination of your experience and overwhelming breadth of your weapons knowledge, thanks for your insights and another great video Ian

  • @ElocTheComrade
    @ElocTheComrade Před 7 lety +53

    Take a moment and observe the beauty of the M200 with me. Observe the monopod design, an endlessly durable and functional column of solid metal, remeniscing one's thoughts to a column on a long abandoned temple. Grace your eyes onto that built-in level, just a cylinder of knurled contained metal. Everything is unassuming, yet there are a few features that jump out at you and shout "This is special". Look at that riser mount for that Nightforce. So many minutes of elevation give hint as to the distance this rifle can reach, like a special forces bodyguard wearing a finely tailored Armani suit, barely concealing the rippling muscles and icy veins beneath. The way the free-floated smooth handguard just delicately presents itself around the barrel, nothing gaudy at all, and with that unassuming and indestructible bipod design gracing the end like a shoe on the end of a ballerina's foot. The buttstock, collapsible yet solid as the Pentagon, gently arches over the inside cavity like a flying buttress in a gothic cathedral. The carry handle, utterly functional, yet romantically beautiful like the fossilized jawbone of an ancient predator. Take in the rifle as a whole, whose emotionless parallel lines betray the brutal and surgical death it can deal in the right hands. The M200 represents the zenith of what a self-absorbed and competent killer can be. It had it's own round, it's own suppressor, and its own special set of quirks and features. Complete selfishness, yet deserved. The Dracula of firearms. Seen and beloved in TV shows, movies, and video games alike, yet wholly unseen and unobtainable to all but the most desirous. It is overwhelmingly heavy, and has one purpose. It's only purpose is to be the best at one single objective, and that is killing people or destroying things from a stationary position very, very, very far away. And that friends, is pure beauty to me.

    I really like your practical and pragmatic approach to the weapons you describe. In this video you provided information from simple stuff like the carry handle (because the gun weighs a ton) to complex things like a bullet losing accuracy when going from supersonic to subsonic speed, but it's all important details about how the gun works in real life. No glorifying or gun porn.

    The army and special ops in todays modern warfare used this rifle by specially trained 11 year olds with remote controllers and cheap Walmart microphones that was operating in the enemies wavelenght in their radiostation back in 2011. This makes the psycological warfare the main winning factor for these extraordinary high pitched premature children that are reacting to every kill they may get using the "no-scope rotational tactic whilst falling down from a given altitude" I think many doens't know about the sniperrifles tailor-made purpose of being operated by smaller humans that can't carry other heavy duty sniper rifles like the Barrett for example. Where these Spec-Ops 11-year olds are now, is still a blind mystery. Some say that technology has allowed their mics to not be as cancerrous, and some claims the step-down from the gaming console Xbox 360 is the reason.

    My main problem with precision shooting is time/money, unless your a millionaire you can't afford glass, spotting scope, weather tools/computers, ammo, gun it's neverending. Also like you said the time it takes to actually understand principles/practice, and it's to much time for regular working people, plus a lot of places don't have ranges that long. Anyway great video, the Cheytec always looked like a franken-gun to me personally.
