The Barrett M95 (also known as the 95M) is a rifle by the Barrett Firearms Company. It is an improved version of the Barrett M90. The main difference between it and the Barrett M82 is its bullpup configuration, which allows for a shorter overall length while preserving the entire length of the barrel. There is therefore no reduction in the bullet's ballistic performance. It features a pistol grip and the trigger unit moved forward 1 inch (25 mm) for better clearance between the magazine and the pistol grip, and thus more comfortable handling and shooting. The bolt handle is slightly redesigned and bent down and to the rear. The barrel chamber is chrome plated for better extraction and corrosion resistance. There are also some minor improvements in the trigger / firing pin mechanism. This weapon fires .50 BMG ammunition from a five-round, bullpup magazine. Like the Barrett M82, it is used as an anti-materiel rifle and a long-range sniper rifle.
