The Norwegian Army is boosting its sniper arsenal with the acquisition of hundreds of M107A1 rifles from American firearms manufacturer Barrett.
Designed to meet the evolving demands of modern combat, the M107A1 is capable of delivering precision and rapid fire on targets up to 2,000 meters (6,562 feet) away.
The weapon is also suppressor-capable, reducing its signature to support covert operations.
According to Barrett chief executive Bryan James, the contract will help ensure that the Norwegian military is equipped with the “latest advancements in long-range firepower.”
