U.S. Military Sniper’s edge: The M110 and Barrett M82

Silent, precise, and deadly—U.S. Military snipers dominate the battlefield with the unrivaled power of the M110 and M82/M107 rifles.

U.S. Military snipers are some of the most skilled marksmen in the world, and their success relies heavily on their training, precision, and the advanced weaponry they carry into the field. Two rifles that have become icons in their arsenal are the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System (SASS) and the M82/M107 Long Range Sniper Rifle.

The M110, known for its semi-automatic precision and adaptability, is a versatile tool for urban and mid-range engagements. Its design allows snipers to maintain pinpoint accuracy while delivering rapid follow-up shots when the mission demands it. On the other hand, the M82/M107 is a beast of long-range dominance, capable of neutralizing targets over a mile away. With its .50 caliber rounds, it can penetrate light armor and devastate enemy equipment, making it an unmatched weapon for extreme distances.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
