just watching Future Weapons on discovery channel and they were testing out this new sniper round developed by Barrett to be even more accurate than the .50 bmg at 2k to 2500 yards........WOW was it amazing.

here's some specs i picked up in the internet on this new round

Specifications:
- Case Capacity 200 grains of powder
- Projectile Solid brass boattail spitzer
- Projectile Weight 400 grains
- Projectile Length 2.0 in.
- Ballistic Coefficient .943
- Cartridge OAL 4.58 in.
- Muzzle Velocity 3250 fps (supersonic past 2500 yds.)
- Accuracy Under 1 MOA
- Barrel Length Choices 32 or 29 in. (81.28 or 73.66 cm)
- Rifle Lengths 50 or 45 in. (127 or 114 cm)
- Weights 25 or 23 lbs. (11 or 10.43 kg)

Also very cool is that the .416 Barrett is Ronnie Barrett's answer to California AB 50, legislation that was passed in 2004 which classified all .50 BMG rifles as "Assault Weapons". This required registration of existing guns and prevented new sales and transfers. Barrett refused to repair some Barrett rifles for the LAPD when Los Angeles passed the first ban on his products... gotta love this guy!

Ronnie Barret seems like a hell of a guy. Hopefully I'll be able to afford one of his 50's before too long. Hell, If I win the lottery, the Model 82 is first on my list.
