Barrett M-82. Semi-automatic .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) with 10 round box Magazine.
Used in by Marines in Desert Storm to engage light vehicles and tank crewmen at ranges over one mile.
Very nasty with API rounds (Armor Piercing Incendiary). See this weapon in the movies: "Navy Seals"-(used by 'God') and Robocop. Get your own from Ronnie Barrett for about $5,000. Also available in a bolt-action bullpup version.
Description:It is a exploded drawing of the XM-15 (their AR-15). It has all the parts and labels. The pic is big (1059x1534) so one can still read the labels.

This rifle was obviously patterned after the M16 family of weapons. It has a hinged upper/lower receiver, mag release, bolt hold-open button, and safety are all in the same place. However, this rifle sports a four-position gas regulator (one of the positions is for firing rifle grenades) and a more robust gas system. It has a rotating bolt locking system, and the bolt, bolt carrier, firing pin, piston, and recoil spring are easily disassembled without any tools.

A Russian rifle capable of high accuracy, the automatic version of which was sometimes used by Russian snipers.
[Mark (underground@villagenet.com) adds: As the proud owner of one. I can personally attest to the accuracy being
excellent if not outstanding. Although the Soviet ammo seems to vary in
quality, the accuracy of the weapon is incredible.
2nd quick note. The above mentioned article states that the automatic
version was used by Russian Snipers. This was extremely rare.. Very few
full auto or select fire Dragonovs were issued to field snipers. The
most common configuration was (obviously) the semi-auto only.]
A huge blow-up diagram of this well known battle rifle.
Note that this image is too large for any computer with 16MB or less of real memory, and even a 24MB or 32MB computer will thrash while loading it.
Calibre: 5.56 mm Notes: A slightly modified version of the standard rifle of the Swedish Army.
A 5.56 NATO version of the Galil's AK inspired 7.62 * 51 rifle. Probably one of the toughest rifles around.
Jonathan Spencer has the following to say about these rifles:
This image is of the L85A1 plus an unidentified rifle. I don't have the exact details but I took the image from a brochure given to me by the MOD's Pattern Room (and which I couldn't find last night). The rifle is a "pattern" and has the Royal Seal on the butt (look carefully for the red wax seal). If I remember correctly, it is a carvalry carbine. The fact that this particular gun is the "pattern" means that any discrepancies wrt another gun are verified against the pattern piece. Although the pratice of having "patterns" to which one refered is discontinued, the SA-80 (aka L85A1) in the picture with the carbine is the first production L85A1, serial number 00001, so there is some continuation in the concept.
A classic American rifle.
Description: 185 grain Remington JHP bullet with WW296 powder- just under 2000 fps. A converted .30M1 carbine, quite a blast to shoot!
The MP41 (Machine Pistol 41) is a modified version of the MP40. The MP40 is a follow-on to the MP38. The MP 38 was the first machine pistol issued to the German army since WW1. The MP38 was designed and manufactured from 1938 to 1940 by ERMA. The MP40 and MP40/I were cost reduced versions of the MP38. The MP40s were made by a number of firms and subcontractors from 1940 to 1944. The MP41 was credited to Schmiesser (I'll find the correct spelling) the plant manager at Haenl. For that reason, anything that looked like an MP41 has been called a Schmiesser. All three fired 9mm Para. ammo.
