Talk:Accuracy International AS50

message: I changed the service dates to reflect the fact that this rifle has never entered production, or seen actual combat in a conflict zone.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.208.90 (talk) 12:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Considering the accuracy of 1.5 MOA is below the accuracy requirements for FBI (0.5) and US ARMY (1.0), perhaps it should be mentioned that the rifle doesn't meet US military standards of accuracy? - Dimensio
:: Considering the Barrett has an MOA of only 2.0 I think Accuracy International are in comparison doing very well, also you wouldn't employ the SA50 to civilian police agencies, as for military sniping against human targets you'd use the Accuracy International AWM 338 (L115A3 Long Range Rifle) or similar, regards.Twobells (talk) 19:24, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accuracy 

message: I changed the action from "recoil operated, rotating bolt" to "direct impingement". It is not "rotating bolt" action, though it has a rotating bolt. The term "rotating bolt" refers to manually operated "bolt-action" rifles, not semi-autos. It is clearly Direct Impingement and not recoil-operated because of the following characteristics: 1. there is a gas tap at the middle of the barrel. A recoil-operated rifle would not have one, but a gas or DI gun would. 2. when the breech is open, one can clearly see a gas tube protuding into the breech area from the front of the gun, which is characteristic of a DI gun only.

message: I agree that the sub-stub at AS-50 should be merged into this article (to the extent that any information there is not already here). --Butseriouslyfolks 05:38, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger of [[AS-50]] 

message: I also agree. They are the same article, about the same thing, with a different spelling of the name. Let's not be pedantic here, people —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bgbnbigben (talk • contribs) 05:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

text: The M82 and M107 has a sub-MOA to 600 yards, that's it, beyond 600 yards it has an MOA of 2.0 while the AS50 has an MOA of 1.5 out to 2000 yards, hope this helps. Twobells (talk) 13:57, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  RE: The Merge 

message: I think I got it...the Barrett must be better, it uses recoil system (all the gases are pushed forward) and the AS50 uses gas-operated action (a part of the gases are used to cycle the action)...so the Barrett is obviously more powerful and accurate...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.139.254.210 (talk) 11:15, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
