Future Weapon Technology

The Best and Newest Military Weapon Systems

The British Accuracy International AS50 BMG Sniper Rifle

Posted by Andrew On July - 2 - 2007

Accuracy International AS50
This awesome weapons represents the British attempt at designing the worlds greatest sniper rifle. Similar in design and features to the Barrett M107 .50 caliber sniper rifle, the Accuracy International AS50 certainly exhibits the pinnacle of futuristic sniper rifle engineering. The greatest difficulty to overcome when designing a rifle of such high caliber is how to effectively and efficiently disperse the recoil, and the AS50 employs a free-floating barrel with a dual chamber muzzle brake to accomplish this feat. One important thing to note about this rifle though, is that it is truly designed as an anti-material weapon, meaning that it is intended to be armor-piercing to take out lightly armored vehicles such as APCs and trucks rather than intended as anti-personnel. However though, the accompanying video definitely stirs the imagination when it shows the melons, the perfect shape for a human head, being blown apart after the round penetrates some concrete blocks. I’m just waiting for the X-ray vision scope to be put on this bad boy, watch out everyone!


The AS50 has documented kills in Iraq where APCs where taken out from over a mile away, they had no idea what was hitting them.

    Only someone incredibly ignorant of weapons would claim that the XM107 bullpup, short-recoil action weapon is “similar in design” to this gas-operated weapon. They are about as different as two guns can possibly be.
