  • Firearm Suppressors
    04 20 RIFLE / MG SUPPRESSORS ADDITIONAL SUPPRESSOR BENEFITS FIREARM SUPPRESSORS A suppressor may not make a sniper silent, it will make him invisible. The muzzle flash reduces the night vision ability of the human eye for several minutes. A suppressor will prevent this. A suppressor is an extremely valuable accessory to any firearm. It offers many tactical advantages for general military and all kinds of special operations. It ´s also an excellent choice for police work, especially when dealing with today´s terrorist threats. SNIPER RIFLES Besides the obvious fact that a suppressor reduces the sound level of a gun, it has several more very important benefits B&T produces a full suppressor line for sniper rifles that mount to the flash which greatly improve the tactical efficiency of the operator. hider, muzzle brake or threaded barrel of most sniper rifle systems.

  • 50 Caliber–Danger and Legality of 50 Caliber Rifles,” Dateline NBC, June 19, 2005
    CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERTS WARN ABOUT THE DANGER OF UNRESTRICTED SALES OF 50 CALIBER ANTI-ARMOR SNIPER RIFLES TO CIVILIANS Violence Policy Center About the Cover Photo The cover shows a Barrett 50 caliber anti-armor sniper rifle mounted on a “pintle” or “soft” mount, which is mounted in turn on a tripod. The mount reduces the effect of recoil, improves accuracy, and facilitates movement through vertical and horizontal dimensions, thus making it easier, for example, to engage moving targets. The Ponderosa Sports & Mercantile, Inc. (Horseshoe Bend, Idaho) Internet web site from which this photograph was taken advises the visitor: Many non-residents store firearms in Idaho. It is the buyers [SIC] sole responsibility to determine whether the firearm can legally be taken home. Ponderosa Sports has no knowledge of your city, county or state laws. For example - many kalifornia [sic] residents have purchased the Barrett m82 .50 BMG above. That rifle is illegal for them to take home. They can however purchase it and store it in Boise or Nevada.1 The operation of a pintle mount is fairly easy to understand by visual inspection. Here, for example, is one that Barrett sells for its 50 caliber anti-armor sniper rifles. Barrett soft, or pintle, mount for 50 caliber anti-armor sniper rifles. Tripods, often combined with pintle mounts, also aid in aiming heavy sniper rifles, as is evident from the following illustration. LAR Grizzly 50 caliber anti-armor sniper rifle mounted on tripod.
