How does the Barrett m82 Work?

The Barrett M82 is a .50 caliber semi-automatic sniper rifle that operates using a short-stroke gas piston system. When a round is fired, gas from the fired cartridge is diverted through a port to cycle the action, ejecting the spent casing and chambering a new round from the magazine. Its modular design allows for easy maintenance and customization, while the heavy barrel enhances accuracy and reduces recoil. The M82 is primarily used for long-range engagements and anti-material purposes due to its powerful caliber.
