Robar VS Barret

Derek · 29th May 2000, 02:10 PM

What I want to know is what the differences are between the Robar and Barret .50 cal rifles other than semi vs bolt action. (Yes, I'm talking about the semi-auto Barret, not the stripped down bolt action rifle).

examples: accuracy, felt recoil, wieght, etc.

The Barret M82A1 is quite a bit heavier, I'm pretty sure there would be much less felt recoil with the M82, but the Robar is probably more accurate. I haven't fired either but I think that's pretty close to correct.

The M-82a1 Barrett .50 rifle (semi-automatic) is a bit heavier, bulkier, and "not as accurate" as the robar .50 is, but, uh... it's damn well accurate enough, if you know what I mean.

The M95 (Stripped down? hardly) bolt-action Barrett .50 rifle actually has better accuracy and a higher muzzle velocity than the Robar, and it's a tad lighter as well, with less of a kick. this is mostly due to the bullpup style bolt (behind the trigger assembly), giving it a much longer barrel.

But, the Robar looks more "Natural" and less "Mechanic" than the Barrett, which gives it the "Edge" for alot of marksmen.

i've already asked to ahvee the barret,

*basicaly* it has a better sight, and is semi auto.

the reply i got would be that it would totialy unbalance the game (which i agreed after thinking about it)
