Sniper Rifle - 12.7x99mm BMG - USA - Semi-Automatic - The first and most popular of the modern, semi-auto .50 BMG sniper rifles.  First adopted under the pretense of EOD, the Barrett was quickly adopted by SOF and USMC snipers.  M82A1s were used extensively during the Gulf War to destroy/disable Iraqi aircraft, unfired SCUD missles, and APCs.  In one case, the crews of two Iraqi BMPs surrendered after an USMC sniper destroyed a third BMP w/ two shots from his Barrett at approximately 2 kilometers. D.E. Watters
