Barrett M107A1 .50-caliber sniper rifle may have been the most useful piece of equipment for the urban fight. Especially for our light fighters,” said LTC Jim Smith in a PEO Soldier. Report on lessons learned from Operation Iraq Freedom. He added, “The Barrett M107A1 was used to engage both vehicular and personnel targets out to 1,400 meters. Soldiers not only appreciated the range and accuracy, but also the target effect. Leaders and scouts viewed the effect of the .50-cal. round as a combat multiplier due to the psychological impact on other combatants who viewed the destruction of the target.”
Funded as a Soldier Enhancement Program, the Barrett M107A1 underwent standard-type classification in August 2003 and Barrett received a production contract, awarded the following month. Based on reports of the XM107’s battlefield performance, the U.S. Army approved it (with slight modifications) for full material release and designated it the M107 in March 2005. The phrase “full material release” indicates that the Barrett M107A1 passed rigorous testing and is completely safe, operationally suitable, and logistically supportable for use.
