New military sniper rifle

[Sky727]

The U.S. Army, Marines, and Special Forces have all replaced their sniper rifles with one system — the Barrett MK22 MRAD Precision Sniper Rifle. In this video, Chris Cappy breaks down why every American sniper switched to this new long-range bolt-action rifle and how it’s changing modern warfare. The MK22 fires multiple calibers including .338 Lapua Magnum, .300 Norma, and 7.62 NATO, offering extreme accuracy beyond 1,500 meters. It’s modular, deadly precise, and part of a new global sniper revolution reshaping U.S. military doctrine. We’ll explore how the Precision Sniper Rifle program began under SOCOM, why modular chassis systems dominate today, and how drones, AI, and battlefield sensors are transforming the sniper’s role. From the civilian precision-shooting world to Army modernization, this is the story of how America built the most advanced sniper rifle ever made.

$16,000 for the single shot bolt action rifle and figure another $4000 for glass an the suppressor..  Next life I want to be a defense contract supplier selling toilet seats, coffee makers and the all important 3 hardware store washers for a cool million.. Oh and must not forget the $750 hammers that were all the rage a few years ago..! ! 
 
O.K. rant over; I just hope the darn thing works like advertised and last more than a few hundred rounds down range.. At that price after firing, it should give the shooter a massage and tuck them into bed..

Very impressive!
I would prefer my .50 that costs far too much for the rounds 
My friends keep calling it a heli killer but that just seems dumb.

I'll see if I can find some good review videos of this happening but, google Barrett MK22 Uncommand Discharges......

These rifles are having issue with the safety selectors and sears. You will charge in a round, pull the trigger and it appears "dead", you then cannot operate the safety, and when you touch the bolt to unload the rifle, it fires. 

I have seen a lot of YouTube shorts and such of this, mainly when Sig was big in the news for the P320 debacle.



EDIT: Here is an article about it while I am looking for some good videos I can post right now.

You beat me to it, lol.

It would seem to me that with the push for modularity in all things, there's safety issues cropping up. What the hell happened to purpose made equipment for the military?
