The standard version of the M107 sniper rifle is equipped with a bipod, which can greatly improve the accuracy and stability when shooting. The excellent design of the gun minimizes recoil, and its 10-shot semi-automatic firing capability allows the launcher Lock a target by firing continuously. It can strike accurately at a range of 2 kilometers, and can be used to effectively attack military facilities, such as light vehicles, from a long distance.

- The U.S. Army formally proposed the XM107 plan in the mid-1990s. In the U.S. Army's application report, the XM107 will serve as a long-range anti-material weapon system as a supplement to the M24 7.62mm sniper weapon system equipped at the time to improve the sniper team Combat capabilities.
- In 1999, the Army planned to use the Barrett M95 as a candidate for the XM107, but they may have used Barrett M82A1 for more than a decade, so the Army finally selected Barrett in the summer of 2002 The M82A1 acts as an official long-range sniper rifle. The Barrett M82A1 has been used for so many years, and now it has officially changed to the "trial period" status, and obtained a military name "XM107-type 0.50 caliber long-range sniper rifle" (Long Range Sniper Rifle, Caliber .50, XM107 ).
- To be precise, XM107 is actually an improved M82A1M of Barrett M82A1. Compared with M82A1, the main improvement of M82A1M is weight reduction. The original weight of the M82A1 was a bit too large, and the US military has always asked for weight reduction. So Barrett redesigned the structure of the receiver and adopted a lighter

- French "Aerospace Defense" reported on April 4, 2005 that the US Army has approved the full installation of the new M107 type 12.7 mm long-range sniper rifle. The M107 sniper rifle project is managed by the Individual Weapons Project Management Office (PMSW) at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, while the Picatinny Weapons Research Development and Engineering Center is responsible for engineering support.
- "Fully packed" means that the project has passed rigorous tests and evaluations. The gun is highly reliable and suitable for operational use when used by soldiers. It is reported that PMSW previously equipped M107-type sniper rifles for the combat forces in Afghanistan and Iraq and other forces supporting global counter-terrorism operations in accordance with the emergency deployment plan. The Army hopes to complete the installation of the M107 sniper rifle in 2008. In September 2003, the American Barrett Light Weapons Manufacturing Company won a production contract. Compared with the M24-type 7.62mm sniper rifle, the M107-type sniper rifle is equipped with a larger magnification optical sight and can fire a variety of 12.7mm ammunition. The M107 sniper rifle is based on the M82A3 sniper rifle widely used by the Marine Corps, which enables the Army sniper to accurately shoot active forces and technical equipment targets from a distance of 1500 to 2000 meters.

- The gun is used to effectively attack and destroy technical equipment targets from a long distance, including parked aircraft, computers, intelligence stations, radar stations, ammunition, oil, fuel and lubricant stations, various light armored targets and command, control and communication equipment. . In the anti-sniper mission, the M107 system has a longer range and a higher end effect. The entire M107 system includes a rifle, a removable 10-round magazine, a variable magnification day sight, a transport case, a tactical soft case, cleaning and maintenance equipment, a removable strap, an adjustable bipod, and a guide. In the future, the Army plans to retrofit the M107 sniper rifle by adding a flame suppressor that significantly reduces muzzle flame, noise, and muzzle shock wave characteristics. [2]
