It is used by many around the world to sniper animals. Despite its designation as an anti-materiel rifle, it is used by some as an anti-personnel sniper rifle. It is also called the Light Fifty for its .50 BMG (12.7\u00d799mm NATO) chambering. The weapon is found in two variants, the original M82A1 (and A3) and the bullpup M82A2. The M82A2 is no longer manufactured, though the XM500 can be seen as its successor.<\/p>\n<p>Please see photo below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-59325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/amrifle.jpg\" alt=\"amrifle\" width=\"512\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/amrifle.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/amrifle-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/amrifle-768x388.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/amrifle-1024x518.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally I can say that the country SRI LANKA is being drained off politically by worldwide\u00a0Tamil Eelam\u00a0population; and that the Sinhalese are heading towards a volcano blow\u00a0off unless and otherwise they\u00a0adhere to the corrected political Sinhalese state\u00a0precepts put forward\u00a0by me in the website <a href=\"http:\/\/kuweni.comli.com\">http:\/\/kuweni.comli.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By,\u00a0 Professor Nishan C.
