From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The M107 Long Range Sniper Rifle is a semi-automatic .50 BMG sniper rifle. It is a new designation of the M82 Special Applications Scoped Rifle in the US military. The M107 is used for traditional sniper tasks, but is especially useful for long-range, counter-sniper, and anti-materiel roles over more traditional smaller bore sniper rifles.

There are no significant differences between the Barrett M82A1M/M82A3 and the M107. However, production M107s appear to have the addition of a rear monopod and there are rumors of internal improvements as well.
