An American soldier named Ronnie Barrett

Ronnie Bright was 28 years old at the time

  In 1982, he designed the rifle

He was born in 1954 AD

He designed the weapon in his basement

And try to sell the design to famous international companies

Fortunately for him, all his attempts failed

The inventor begins assembling the rifles in small numbers and selling them in the domestic market of the United States. Barrett then in 1986 founded Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Inc.

In the same year, his company began production of the first modern rifles, which received the designation M82A1. In 1987, Barrett was able to obtain a patent for his invention.

As a result of his efforts, the company achieved a contract in 1989, signing a contract with the Swedish Ministry of Defense to supply one hundred copies of the Barrett M82A1.

. In 1990, the company signs a new contract and enters into an agreement with the US Armed Forces to supply its products for military operations in the Middle East,

Where approximately 125 weapons were purchased by the US Marine Corps,

Then orders came from both the Air Force and the Army. According to press reports, the Barrett M82 A1 sniper rifle was used by the special forces of the US Navy, the US Army did not stop, and in 1992 the Special Operations Forces and the US Marine Corps purchased three hundred units of this weapon. In the future, the volume of orders increases every year. The Barrett M82 A1 rifle received the designation SASR in the United States Army,

Amendments to subsequent releases

Since production, the first version of the Barrett rifle has undergone several modifications. The first of these is the M82 A1, also known as the Light Fifty. Released in 1986, it underwent minor design changes. Starting from this model,

The second modification is the M82A2, developed in 1987 specifically for use against fast moving targets, effectively used as an anti-helicopter.

(The previous models were designed for fixed targets.) This version has undergone many modifications,

The next modification was the Barrett rifleM82A1M, manufactured according to US Army standards. This weapon received open-type sighting devices (in case of collapse of the main, optical) and Picatinni guide, which allows the installation of additional sighting devices

The new generation

The next round of development of the company Barrett became the creation of a new series of M107 sniper rifles. This modification differs from the M82 by small technological changes designed to improve the reliability of this weapon. The first update to the new versions was the M107CQ rifle. This option is designed for use on armored vehicles and helicopters. The main difference from the base model is a shortened nine-inch trunk (508 mm versus 737 mm for the full-size version).

In addition, based on the previous modification was created a prototype of the new OSW rifle, which stands for "Objective Sniper Weapon". This model is a sniper carbine for a 25 mm projectile from an automatic OCSW grenade launcher. Experimental weapons showed increased efficiency, but the force of recoil when fired was too strong and unbearable for the shooter.
