Barrett .50 Caliber Overview (M107 and M82 A1)
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 02. 2016
- The Barrett .50 caliber anti-material rifles (NOT sniper rifles) are truly icons in the firearm world. These man portable cannon allow an individual to have 10 rounds of earth-shattering .50 BMG ammunition on tap to destroy enemy equipment, vehicles, and so on. With too many movie and video game appearances to count, the Barrett .50s certainly get lots of due attention from the public. But what are these rifles really used for? How do they work? What's in the box? Well, let's have a look!

This seems really pointless to own.... I'll take 5 though
it's mostly for distance shooting
Van's Videos what I heard its goes for 10-13k
Wrong, it was not developed as a long range rifle, it was developed as an anti personal rifle shooting targets like cars, airplanes, helicopters, communication equipment and so forth. There are better more accurate tools to snipe at long distance.
That'll cost 60k
(Well from what I know)
@@mando_sosa2893 No one stopping you from shooting this close range. Just don't mind the mess later on ;))
"Chambered in $5 bills" 😂
Van Dinh the cheapest I could find .50 BMG ammo is less than half that; currently, ammoseek.com has them going for $2.32 per round and up.
☠️☠️☠️. Dude had me cracking up
@Charlie Montana i went to cabelas and they were like 6$ each
You can get cheap ammo, but whats the point in that. It just hurts the gun. I use a good round at $89 for 10 rounds, yes pricey, but accuracy is important when you can really place a round with ridiculous impact. Im getting the 107 and would have complimented my M99-a1 from Barrett, if it had not been taken from me along with many other guns from a stupid wife with a 911 trigger happy finger calls the popo and says your crazy. I lost $125k in guns and initially a very serious charge later on that was very expensive to get aquitted. Now gunless, headed back to Arizona for good, and picking up my 107 shortly there after. The guy is right about the gun. Its a must have for any one who appreciates firepower. Its so much fun to pull out at a range, and squeeze a round out to have everyone stop and look. Thats worth the price of admission all damn day long!
@Charlie Montana $100 bills now lol
"Not as fun as you think" Say what?!? The m82 was 10x the fun I could've hopped for!
That’s why I just bought one 😂
I love ur channel man
Watched your video on this gun! It was great and fun to watch you shoot.
I have to choose m82 because of muzzle design 😭❤️
It's my favorite rifle because it makes me feel cool and insane like a dark souls character wielding a ridiculously large weapon made for only Andre the Giant.
its safe to say, we all want to see the m82 50bmg run and gun. lets get on that
a run and gun with a 30 lb gun? are you high or Mr.T/Arnold Schwarzenegger?
+JacktheAwesome nah. Only freedom.
+AmericanCountryBoy Why don't you try running with one? then we'll talk about asking the guy for a run and gun with one
Let's saw the barrel off and remove the stock add a drum mag and get a gun Smith to make it automatic
JacktheAwesome if you have enought freedom you csn do it easily, you just need to drink a few galoons of petroleum and listen to murica fuck yeah times.
Dude .50 cals are an anti everything gun
Its anti affordable too
that isn't a bad thing
+Russ Powell I meant the fact that is anti everything rifle isn't a bad thing
If only it was Anti - anti gun politicians
SKS Mosin NRA***
every 12 year old kid - "can you quickscope with it?"
Ughhhhhhhh. That really takes the badassery away from this gun
+Chandler Thomas Every adult - All 12 year old kids are CoD players with no grasp on reality.
Not all 12 year olds :)
***** I can confirm. Even with a bipod, these things suck to fire.
Yeah u can I hit a quad collat with it plus a 1080 insta swap
Dear Santa...
XD
dear Santa, you are a bitch nigga
dear Santa, you are a bitch nigga
+Emperor Krell I think I shot Santa last year... What? Do you think you wouldn't shoot someone coming down your chimney?
LMFAO
Run and gun next 50 bmg
+Liemciemdk89 No.
+TFB TV blunt
+TFB TV c'monnnn please?!
I'll do one if you pay for it.
+TFB TV Wimp. Just kidding. :)
"Chambered in five dollar bills" Love that :)))))
The day you need to use a Barrett's back up iron sights is a bad day... very bad day
clough211 the day you need to use a barter is a bad day... A very bad day oh the hell am I talking bout any day with that rifle irons or no it's a good day a very good day
clough211 but even worse for the other guy
clough211 for you or the poor sole starring down the barrel?
off colored for both, its not going to end well for either party
Bad day for the guy on the receiving end because of humiliation
Is this best concealed carried apendix or waistline?
Preferably open carried because who is gonna stop you
Internal rectal
Zap carry it
Prison wallet.

Agree with everything you said, but you nailed the main point at the end. "Incredibly badass" which is why people pay ridiculous sums for a really, not very practical firearm. And I am all for it! :-)
"Bad ass" sorry, typo.
Just like the Desert Eagle c:
if you had to take shots at someone at a mile and a half or more, this would be practical, but since there's really never a reason to unless you're a military sniper... other guns are lighter, cheaper, and easier to use even up to a mile
Great video. I'm from Australia and the cheapest .50cal I came across started at $6000. Biggest caliber so far for me is the .300win mag and .308 those for me are pefect for long range. Keep up the good work guys.
Hey- American here. I thought guns were banned in Australia? Or am I just misinformed
@@RealSillyCatStudios Looks like this comment was before all the bans
@@michaelp1630 Ohhhh I see- thanks for the explanation!
all the while, I kept thinking of that one guy who hip fired two Barretts at once.
Am I the only one who knows that video
And those were semi-autos.
Such a good video
Someone link the rest of us up please!
Ima thinkin the demolition ranch guy
@@debragibson3489 this comment was from right before he blew up
So this thing was made for destroying vehicles, yet I still hitmarker people if I hit them in the leg
if you hit someone in a limb, they wouldnt have a limb anymore. but some video games are 2-3 shot kills with it lol
All I want for Christmas is that tank killer
The only tank your gunna kill with that is a Mk I.
Yea that can’t take out anything bigger than an F150, but I know what you mean
Excellent overview! Really enjoyed your narrative and the comparison between the two models. Great that you pointed out the 50BMG isn’t a sniper rifle and was designed for pure stopping power. Well done! 👍🇺🇸
you lucky Americans with your cheap ammo here in Canada my .375 h&h ammo costs me 6 dollars a shot. And that caliber is far smaller and more available than 50bmg.
+lordofmangos
375 h&h is very expensive here as well.
I love how a rich 18 year old can walk into a store and buy this gun, but can't buy a simple .22 revolver
the ammo is expensive here as well, and for the .22 revolver its at bass pro
Yo in Singapore you cant even get a gun
Can u send this gun to Colombia ????
The M107a1 is capable of MOA accuracy with match grade ammo. Improvements include: match barrel and chamber, barrel bushing, straighter and lighter aluminum upper, better trigger, better muzzle brake. I have have a lot of time with the m82, m82 cq and the M107a1. The M107a1 is a sniper level weapon with good ammo.
I bought my 82A1 in June of 1990 and have had fun shooting it in FCSA 1000 yard competitions. Being an early rifle, mine has subtle differences from yours. Also, mine came with two 11-round magazines. My spec sheet from Barrett has 11-round magazines as standard.
It is weird how a Barrett .50 cal rifle can be purchased by the general public yet other less destructive options are banned or has ridiculous laws
marlon chin 50. cal is impractical for mass shootings and assassinations unlike smaller more compact automatic firearms that can be suppressed using suppressors.
The price tag, weight, ammo cost, and all around impracticality for 99.9% of uses basically makes it worthless in the eyes of most folks that purchase firearms, let alone criminals.
How many mass shooters have used a BMG caliber rifle?
The M82 is the tied with the M60 for the most fun shooting experience I’ve had yet
I edc one of these, not too bad at a 3oclock position.
***** Be quiet, back in WW2 this thing saved my life when I had it 3ocklock. Quick draw pro and I could quick scope commies easy
***** It's ok, thank you for accepting my 190 iq is obviously higher than yours and I am much more cooler.
As long as we are all drinking moderately heavy... I actually prefer a drop down leg holster for mine with an arrow quiver like holder for the suppressor..
Why not make a mini version that shoots .308/ 7.62x51?
Because dozens of semi auto 308s exist.
+Jeremiah P That would be pretty cool
TFB TV Yes, but could you imagine a scaled down and affordable version? Man! That would be a show stopper at every range day. But you could keep the show going for hours instead of minutes. $5 a pop is brutal after you broke the bank just to get it in your hands.
+Jeremiah P 20 bucks per shot in germany, consider yourself luck with only 5
+Jeremiah P Check out the Barrett 98 Bravo chambered in .338 Lapua
"Chambered in five dollar bills" fucking lost it
As much as i love the Barrett, Why Change the Muzzle Break? The Arrow head MB is much cooler I.M.O
So you can attach their suppressor.
TFB TV To be fair, said suppressor looks pretty cool (talking about the one with the Muzzle break on the end)
Yea it's for a suppressor.. to make a .50 even more fun pretty much lol
Yeah, the impractical barrett just got more impractical!
A suppressor on a .50 cal BMG round... right... ok, well that will never work and / or never be useful, if you are using a 50 cal they are gonna know you are there, and that bullet is going to make noise regardless to what's on on the end of the barrel
$5 bills lol. Here in Australia a box of 10 rounds will start at $80 for the cheapest and run well past $150 for high quality stuff. Crazy
the opening line alone got my "thumbs up" before I even got to 23 seconds.... Love your vids, keep up the great work guys.
I still love the classic and the original Barrett M82A1 50 Cal Anti-Material Sniper rifle
"chambered in five-dollar bills" hahahaha
+James Patrick Immagine it shooting silver bullets. That would be expensive.
Just found this video. I had an M107 and had a strange effect once done spending money on 50 BMG and moving to 5.56 and it felt like I was simply shooting a toy :). It really humbles standard rifles quickly.
Thanks for the overview. I know what I'm getting myself for my birthday now.
Wasn't the muzzle break on the M82 supposed to be belled like that to allow the gas and all around force from the round fired to catch in the break and pull the rifle forward to reduce recoil, even just a little bit? I have a buddy with days of range and field experience with both rifles and this is what he's told me.
I just found out that my state banned these. Fuck gun laws.
rest assured Barret will not sell them to your state's government.
ShaDOWDoG667 Lol.
Lol my state just made this rifle its state firearm
+jessie reeves shelves chose the 1911 because Alvin York.
My states VFW hospital is named after him
Was lucky enough to squeeze the trigger on one at my local range. Had a smile on my face the rest of the day lol
what is being argued here. its heavy, kicks like a mule and is one hell of a fight stopper. love it. we had one in our unit and once we spotted our target and engaged with the 50 they would flee the battlefield. nothing like hiding behind a murder hole and hitting the fucker on the other side at 1000 meters out and watching a red mist and dirt fly everywhere really took the fight out of them.
If I had the money, I honestly don't know which I'd get: one of these, an Accuracy International AS50, or a CheyTac M200 (in obligitory .408 CT, of course). I love the .50s for obvious reasons, but the CheyTac is such an amazing weapon that defines the word "precision;" more impact force at 1000 yards than a .50 BMG, supersonic at 2000 yards, and if I recall correctly, sub MOA accuracy at 2000 yards as well (where the hell they tested that, I don't know).
I mean, all 3 of those are beautiful rifles and I can only dream of owning one, but you don't exactly need one
Who are you to tell someone what they don't need? It's our right to have it, that's all that matters.
***** For the cost and difficulty of maintaining the rifle, it's ridiculous for a regular civilian to buy one. Of course it's you're right but it would be idiotic to buy one unless you had the money to become proficient with the rifle by shooting thousands of rounds down range, and those rounds become very expensive.
Mike Hawk I don't think it's ridiculous at all.
Aaron Turner Barret, HTI, and Serbu would be my choices. I would buy the bolt action HTI over all of them.
Not a bad way to spend 10 grand 😅
i come from germany after driving 500 km to poland just to shoot with the Barrett M107 ....it was absolutely worth it .
The Barrett 50 may not have been DESIGNED as a sniper rifle, but we all know it's a sniper rifle.
An anti material rifle can be a good sniper rifle, better armor penetration, good chance of killing the target
PIERCESTORM PRODUCTIONS Good, but not meant for it tho. Specially if it is a Semi Auto rifle
PIERCESTORM PRODUCTIONS yes but not at REALLY FAR range
Good chance of exploding the target.
Apple Lysol The muzzle velocity of the heaviest grain .50 BMG is 2,900 fps, basically the same as 5.56x45. That’s slow?
PIERCESTORM PRODUCTIONS The best Anti- Affordable Rifle ever made
Are you ever concerned about the effect shooting all these guns will have on your Rolex? Anything involving impacts or shocks like that can be detrimental to automatic timepieces.
idk if he cares :0
Great video! I thought I've seen every vid on the Barrett, but this is the first one I've seen where the assembly and action are detailed.
Best and most honest review I have ever seen.
Chambered in $5 bills... nice!!! :D
Barrett 50 Cal. Or "The Cobra Assault Cannon"
Couldn't agree with you more! I rented an M82A1 with a friend on the first day of the year and found it to be just like a 12 ga magnum shell with a very long push. Definite one of the guns to shoot before you die but definitely one of the guns that are not as awesome as you think. Still badass though!
Not only manufactured down the road from me, but Im headed there now to pick up some obscure calibers at near outrageous prices, as soon as I finish my coffee. Lol.
No one:
Barret 50 cal: making my way through the bullet proof glass like
missile danenanene ill kill you denenanene ima reck you
Somebody should make a drum mag for the Barrett
why? it isn't heavy enough yet?
Lmfao drum mag on a Barrett why do I see that happening some time in the future? For when you absolutely need to unleash .50 BMG hell on absolutely everything in your vicinity
Bran Mouch It’s semi automatic so why not?
Make it auto as well
Very helpful. I cant justify the $4k to $5k additional cost for the M107A1. I like the QD aspect and the rear cheek pad but not sure that justifies the cost. Thanks for the video.
i didnt know that you can legally own barret in murica
Slap a eo tech on it and do a run and gun.
+glockfan112 Ha, that would de awesome :D
Let's all upvote this so they read it XD
+glockfan112 No.
Can you do a run and gun with the stg 44?
+Alex Rae Yes. In July or June.
+TFB TV thank you, i have to say i am your biggest fan in Australia, and your gun videos are fun and really informative, do you think in a future video you would use the AS 50, by accuracy international?
Alex Rae
It is possible in the future, but they can be pretty tricky to get your hands on.
BTW, I lived in Melbourne for a year and drive a Holden ;)
i prefer the m82 design over m107
so beautiful
especially the muzzle
I saw a recent interview with Mr. Barrett where he stated he didn't make the rifle for military use but for recreational civilian use. He didn't know of anyone making something in 50 BMG for that purpose so he made his own. The fact that the military thought they were useful and bought a bunch he took as a happy coincidence that ensured his gun would make him rich.
I want one sooooooooo bad.
+John Stahl I got mine at an estate auction for $25,000.
where do you live? in merica there around $13,000
Michael Dean $10,000 in idaho, give or take.
Douglas McCarty You overpaid...way too much.

I love the historical reference that you interjected in this vid.
Thank you for the video! Great information that flowed in a continually interesting way. I appreciate the layman's terms used, and the other relatable terms and analogies when attempting to convey such an experience, vicariously. Would love to get the chance to shoot one!
"anti-materiel rifles (NOT anti-material rifles)" ;)
Nothing about this rifle explains the $11,000 price tag aside from consumer demand and government contracts. Having fired one myself I was not impressed. The Ergonomics are average at best and the accuracy is nothing to write home about.
How ergonomic is a 35 pound anti material rifle supposed to be? Or rather, how ergonomic could it be?
A Cat D9 isnt going to drive like a damn Buick, and a Barrett wont shoot like your AR15.
It's just an honest observation. This rifle does exactly what it was meant to.
you don't need pin point accuracy aiming at a trucks radiator
My point was people seriously over hype these rifles.
+Goodspittin Considering its capability to shred light armor from over a mile away, I don't think it's over-hyped at all.
When it's too difficult to pick between an M107 and an M82, so you buy both, haha. Awesome video!
the m82 currently holds the longest ever confirmed sniper kill from an australian SAS sniper team in Afghanistan at an amazing 3079 yards.
Overrated. That's it. Lmao.
if I could give this a million likes I would this was an awesome video thank you!
Best upload yet.
Ventura munitions is the best outta las vegas
Well this told me enough to want one.
Its true what you said that the barrett .50 is not named a sniper rifle.but it was used as a sniper rifle in some wars
So was an M2 heavy machine gun, that doesn't make it a sniper rifle, that just means that the end user decided to use it for that purpose, it does not change the intended use of the firearm.
its just that he didnt mention it. all he said was is that what videogames and movies have us believe
+Ala-eddine el ouazzani He did mention it. Mentioned using the anti-material capabilities to shoot a canteen or a zipper off a combatant, ergo shooting a soft target. However, a Barrett semi-automatic rifle is not a sniper rifle or precision rifle at all, it wasn't designed with that accuracy potential in mind. Look at a Barrett M95 or M99 for accuracy potential, with their fixed barrel design and tighter bolt lockup. I believe an M95 still holds the record for tightest group at 1000yds in .50BMG
but what i mean was mentioning it as an actual sniper rifle to kill infantry at long distances which it was used for allot of times. the .50 was favoured over a standard 308 because of its longer range capabilities
+Ala-eddine el ouazzani Maybe in a few rare instances though I would never say it was "favored" over the 308. A precision rifle in 308 would be capable of better hit probability out to distances of 1100-1200yds while maintaining a lighter weight and recoil impulse and a much quieter report. Heck the US military even has several precision rifles adopted in .300 WM for the times when 308 isn't enough, and in more modern times .338 Lapua Magnum is the more or less go to for extreme range precision rifles. The only time anyone "favors" a semi-automatic Barrett, or really any .50 BMG or other large caliber anti-material rifle, is in use against hardened targets or material destruction. Now, again, have shots been made at extreme ranges with the semi-automatic Barrett rifles? Absolutely. But much more commonly if a shot is made at that type of extreme distance it's of bolt action design, such as the Accuracy International .50 BMG rifles, Barrett M95/99 series, Steyr HS50, and many others.
I have a black on black Barrett M82 A1. It is great fun to fuck around with.
the recoil is very significant, like a Magnum shotgun round but the impulse from the 107 is very gentle, so gentle I'm sure it would push a child around but I don't think it would hurt them
There's a lot of weird sounds--bumps and mouse clicks--in this video. It's not terrible but it was enough to make me think my home was haunted.
Barret, basically a modern day WW2 Boyes ATR. Still a sexy looking gun.
I love the introduction you gave on this video about the Barrett 50 Cal rifle. It is so true... There is nothing practical about owning of one these rifles outside of the military. They are far more costly than just about any other high power rifle on the market... In fact, you could buy about 6 to 8 top notch rifles of one variety or another for the cost of just one Barrett M82A1 or M107A1, Barrets cost about the same as the price of a new motorcycle, they are a burden to carry around, shooting ammunition out of them can be like trying to warm your house in winter by burning dollar bills in the chimney, they require equally expensive optics if you plan to tap on the into their intended potential and you need a BIG plot of land to shoot on if you actually intend to reach that potential. So all in all, Barrett 50 Cal rifles are almost absurd to own, but boy are they fun to shoot and boy do they get all your other shooting buddies jealous. Lastly, nothing else commonly acquired makes a hole on a target like a 50 Cal... Not 408 CheyTac, not 338 Lapua, not 300 RUM, not 300 WSM and certainly not anything less than these last few.
The Tennessee legislature just passed a resolution making the Barrett M82/M107 the official state rifle of Tennessee. Hot damn.
I like how they aren't meant to be used as a sniper rifle, yet when my father was a navy seal sniper, he was assigned a Barret .50 (he won't tell me which one though)
Why won't he tell you tho? it's not like your asking him how many peoples life he took with it now that would be understandable of him not wanting to tell you but to not want to tell you which one he used kinda sounds like he's just an asshole
You can tell this video is slightly dated as the ammunition will cost you close to 8 dollars a round now. Still purchased one and am happy to have it.
Thanks for the demo: it looks simple to disassemble the 82A1
If any American who purchases a awesome Barrett M107A1 especially with a surrpressor on it, then it's moniker should say "In the hands of a few great Americans". The ultimate civilian Canon @ your finger tips. Hell yeah!
The M107A1s I work on have carrying handles paired with arrow head compensators. They work better by expelling gases out to the rear towards the operator thus going against the recoil produced by the rifle. I have never worked with the other compensator. Also the arrow heads just screw off the barrel like any other compensator. I’d double check the source this guy uses. 2111 ground ordnance small arms repair USMC
My buddy worked in a gun shop in Austin during college. He bought a Barrett but never shot it due to no ranges that can "stretch it out".
I shot one and the shock wave gave me a headache but it was totally worth it and the recoil was not bad at all a lot less than 12 gage
Wow that barret has my name written all over it even on the bullets
It's not sold as a sniper Rifle But that doesn't stop the Military from using it as an anti personnel Sniper Rifle . I believe it was a Canadian Sniper that holds the longest Sniper shot in the world with the Barrett M107 or the M82. I forget which one he used
most honest review ever love it
please do more videos like this!!!
full over view of one system at a time
May not be called a sniper rifle but definitely acts like one and does great job doing it .
So contrary to popular belief, this is not a true sniper rifle, but in fact more of a "wreck their shit and everything in between" gun.
Neat
damnnnnnnnnn..they only time i saw a barrett up close was during a jointed excercise when i was serving in the army :P .. nice vid m8 i envy you :D
It looks like you show 2 different 107s. They do shoot great and surprising low recoil, I have a 107A1 with the 20 inch barrel and it is a blast. An upscale indoor range in my area even let me fire a mag full of my ball ammo threw mine just it to test their trap. later
one is an M107 (M82A3), the other an M82A1 (the one with the 'tank' muzzle break and no cheek rest)
These guns are insane, and if not something everyone should own, at least something everyone should experience at least once. Also, i absolutely hate lugging one of these to the post office......in a box for shipping that is.
I've got an M82 A1 had it since 2003.
Best review on this weapon
Thank you
I have the Darkearth bolt action with the 32" barrel.
AS you said, it's concussion gets old real quick. I found I had to have a mouthpiece to keep my teeth from getting rattled out for any extended periods of shooting.
This Barrett is on my Top 5 to buy list. for $10,000+ it'll have to wait lol.
I just want one and my man rocking two of them
They may not have been made for snipers but they sure as hell us them frequently!!
.50 BMG is specifically legislated against in the wonderful state of Queensland, .55 Boys is a-okay though, and a cannon under 4' in barrel length is fine too. Logic.
When I was a kid I bought an Evangelion figure that came with a highly detailed Barret. I literally thought the rear monopod was extra plastic that should have been trimmed and I snapped it off. Years later I see the gun and thought "Oops."
