New.
LOL....we ran trials on the M-82 back in 1988-89. Good to see the Army finally adopted the weapon formally, it was a damned fine weapon when we tested them almost two decades ago.
SLAP is incompatible because the sabot shears off the muzzle brake. Believe me, you do not want to fire any .50BMG rifle without the muzzle brake. SLAP is also not particularly accurate.
Raufoss Grade A special match ammunition is much more precise, and still offers excellent light armor penetration.
There was a .50 APDS round tested back around the same timeframe that was compatible with the M-82, but it was never adopted.
BTW, the listed range against area targets is a complete fabrication.

Nobody has really determined the max. effective range of this combination, as it can out-shoot the optics of anything that could reasonably be taken into the field by the spotter.

Could I get some more info on this weapon?Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

I got to talk to the reps and one of our guys here says he fired it on the range...I'm impressed with what I've heard.
I got some brochures from the CheyTac rep, so I know it's not classified. (Although when I asked him if the R-200 had been used operationally, he said, 'Yes. But I can't tell you by who.', and smiled.) Write an e-mail to 'em and see what they'll send you.
