The Barrett M82 .50 caliber sniper rifle is made by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, in Murfreesboro, Tennesee, United States.
Founded by Ronnie Barrett in 1982, he started the company for the sole purpose of creating a rifle that could chamber the Browning .50 BMG round. Since its creation, it has been found to be an outstanding battlefield rifle, used by Special Forces teams in over 40 countries worldwide.
The use of the .50 caliber round for sniping purposes was used previously in Vietnam by legendary Marine sniper Carlos "White Feather" Hathcock. In his book, "One Shot, One Kill", he relates how he scoped a normal .50 caliber machine gun, and covered a wide area from a hilltop in Vietnam, effectively sniping at much longer ranges.
