A Special Forces soldier fires a M107 Barrett anti-material rifle at a target during a firepower demonstration.
The Barrett fires a .50 (12.7mm x9mm) calibre round, including API (Armor Piercing Incendiary).
In addition to taking out personnel, a skilled Barret operator can disable vital equipment such as an enemy armored vehicle, artillery piece, anti-aircraft unit or communications dish.
The M107 Barret can engage targets over a mile away.
