Why Do My Tights Keep Falling Down

Movie: Barrett M82A1 (Smokin 'Aces, 2007)

Smokin 'Aces (2007) was a film that once seemed little more fun and a great excuse for a shootout, but over time I have been valued and appreciated at its true measure. At the end of the day it is increasingly difficult to find a well done action title, you will not miss the special effects and also want to say something. Smokin 'Aces has a conspiracy by the mafia, hired murderers and above all ... a sniper with a .50 caliber rifle.

To get in history, the action takes place in a hotel in Lake Tahoe. The goal, the magician Buddy Israel turned into a mob, he hides in a penthouse suite and every murderer seeks ways to get there. For the pairing of Georgia Sykes and Sharice Watters, the tactic is one of them to infiltrate disguised as a prostitute while the other covers from the opposite building with a sniper rifle, a Barrett M82A1. When it comes time to shoot, hell breaks loose (Watch on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzBTS6t60j0 )

There are weapons that cinema has elevated to a special category that has little to do with their combat effectiveness. But there are other characteristics in the real world even beyond what you see on the screen, and that is the case of Barrett anti-materiel rifle. Their bulky size and profile make it easily recognizable characteristic, starting with the body pierced the huge shipper and the muzzle brake as arrowhead.

is not really a weapon intended to be used against people but against armored targets, vehicles, equipment, walls of enemy positions, etc., hence the name "antimatter." The M82 uses .50 caliber ammunition, ten times more powerful than an M16 5.56, very accurate over long distances and uses the same M2 Browning machine gun. Its effective range is over a kilometer and a half away.

rifle may not be the smartest or the most accurate, but the Barrett is one of those powerful weapons that make a difference in a clash.
