THE BARRETT XM50 is a gas-operated, semi-automatic sniper rifle/anti-materiel rifle currently in development by The Barrett XM500 Firearms Company. It is fed by a 10-round detachable box magazine situated behind the trigger in bull pup configuration.
It is based on the Barrett M82/M107 .50-caliber sniper rifle. It is intended to be a lighter, more compact alternative to the M82. Since The Barrett XM500 has a stationary barrel recoiling-barrel it will likely have somewhat better accuracy As with its predecessor, it comes with a removable, adjustable bipod mounted under the barrel, and a top-mounted pica tinny rail for attachment of a scope and/or other accessory.
