Barrett XM500
The Barrett XM500 is a gas-operated, semi-automatic, anti materiel/sniper rifle in development by the Barrett Firearms Company It is fed by a 10-round detachable box magazine situated behind the trigger in bullpup configuration. Based on the design of the Barrett M82/M107, it is intended to be a lighter, more compact alternative. Since the XM500 has a stationary barrel (instead of the recoiling-barrel design of the M82), it will likely have somewhat better accuracy.
