Its detachable magazine can hold 10 rounds, and it has a design similar to the M82A1 but the change is that it is lighter, has the magazine at the back of the gun and has a longer range and more accuracy than the Barrett M82A1. It was made by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing and is still under prototype testing.
- The Barrett XM500 is a gas-operated, semi-automatic sniper rifle/anti-materiel rifle currently in development by the Barrett Firearms Company. It is fed by a 10-round detachable box magazine situated behind the trigger in bullpup configuration. It is based on the Barrett M82/M107 .50-caliber sniper rifle. It is intended to be a lighter, more compact alternative to the M82. Since the XM500 has a stationary barrel (instead of the recoiling-barrel design of the M82), it will likely have somewhat better accuracy. As with its predecessor, it comes with a removable, adjustable bipod mounted under the barrel, and a top-mounted Picatinny rail for attachment of a scope and/or other accessory.
