      ​@@zyourzgrandzmaz A semi auto Barret is also at least 5 lbs heavier and the Lynx is also 12 inches shorter in it's stowage configuration. Less weight plus the whole "weight biased to the rear" inherent to bullpup designs. It's also short enough that you can somewhat comfortably carry it while getting in and out of helicopters, APCs etc, which no other 50 cal rifle can really claim.
      Are those characteristics worth an extra 4K? That depends entirely on what you need it for, but for some people who actually want to fire this thing in anger it very well might. But realistically, most civilian 50 cal owners don't hump their guns anywhere except from home to car, and car to their spot on the range.

    This gun is a real childhood love of mine. I was like 5 when my father showed me an article about it in a hunting magazine. Back then they only had the GM1 and the GM2 as a prototype. I fell in love with the Gepards right away. I still have that magazine.
    Around 10 years ago I had the chance to hold the GM6 in my hands when I was on an interview at the manufacturing company. Looking back, from a career and bank account point-of-view, I'm lucky I didn't get hired. I don't think they made any developments since then.

      @@TheFirstCurse1 Barrett was really the first company to make .50 BMG self-loading rifles and was founded by a man who had no prior experience manufacturing firearms but an extensive machining backgrounds. It's a very International Accuracy style story where a few brilliant minds without the resources or knowhow broke the mold and created revolutionary weapons.
      I quite like how Barrets look, and their quality and reputation are pretty legendary. I wouldn't say they look uninspired because they were the first and became the industry standard. I feel it's more fair to say it looks more utilitarian than anything; it's hard to say something looks uninspired when nothing like it existed beforehand.
      I think a fair comparison would be thinking of it like a 1911 and a Luger; both are exceptional and reliable guns, just one looks a lot more simple and utilitarian with a simpler operating system compared to the other which is a rather elegant design with an unusual and complicated operating system.
      Meanwhile, 1911s are still extremely popular and manufactured to this day with some limited military use, whereas the Luger is an interesting historical footnote that sadly never got modernized. Not saying the GM6 is going to be short-lived or isn't brilliant, it just doesn't have the same footprint or widespread adoption like Barretts do, largely because the Barretts are proven, robust and easy to maintain while likely costing quite a bit less and maintaining excellent performance.
      Sidenote, I've seen videos of Lynx and Barretts being fired and the Lynx definitely kicks way harder. If it's a less stable shooting platform, that's definitely a consideration for a country adapting it for its anti-material purpose.

      @@TheFirstCurse1 Fair enough, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I think the P90 ranks among the ugliest firearms to exist, with honorable mentions to the Chiappa revolvers. I like the Barret rifles myself; I don't think a platform needs to be totally unconventional to be effective or aesthetically pleasing. I much prefer the aesthetics of the MP7 to the P90 myself, but I can respect the design for the unique and effective firearm it allowed FN to bring to the table, and much quicker than HK was ever able to, at that.
      Not really a fan of the M200 either; it was really a video game which made it iconic than any outstanding performance or unique design philosophy. For a semi-skeletalized rifle, it's so heavy, and the carry handle is necessary for being able to lug the thing around. Still more practical as a special purpose military arm than something like a Desert Eagle, but still.

      As someone who got into guns through hunting, I've always been so confused by military rifle designs in general.
      Hunting rifle, which you just meander through the woods with at a snails pace to not spook your prey? Sleek and super ergonomic things.
      Military rifle, which you'll run in stressful situations and through all kinds of awkward, hostile environments? Full of sharp, straight edges that are just *begging* to catch, snag or cut into anything in a 5 mile radius.
      I've since boiled it down to the intimidation/association factor; I'll sweat more if I see a dude walk towards me with a blocky rifle, than one with a pretty wooden stock. And we also associate looks and performance a lot, the design of the Barrett is so iconic that you immediately know what it's capable of when you see it.

Bronze/ brass bearings or (wear rings) are typically used more commonly than a typical wear band like phenolic, or glass/ carbon fiber resin due to the cost of custom parts and heat resiliance.

      Indeed ...
      Having been around Stationary Steam Engines, used for pumping potable water for homes, for a fair bit of time (long story is long ...), a lot of bronze/brass was used, not only because a well maintained engine, with gleaming brass, looks 'pretty' (and also showed the pride of the men operating them ...), it was a lot easier on high wear areas to replace, compared to, say, the iron (both cast, and wrought) usually used for the rest. Also, if I recall correctly, brass/bronze is a more 'smoother' surface, requiring only a tiny bit of lubricant, especially with a certain percentage of tin (again, iirc ...), it makes it easier to turn down to pretty tight tolerances, even in the late 1800's ... so interesting to see some engineering hasn't changed much since then ...

    That sintered bronze bearing has oil impregnated in it. It is indeed a wear part, but they are perfect for high load, low speed applications, so you can see why it was used here. Also, super reliable compared to a linear ball-bearing alternative. They don't really fail catastrophically the way other bearings often do. They just wear until the gun becomes less reliable over time. I also suspect that that particular bearing would last many 1000s of rounds. And the are cheap and easily replaceable.

      It may have no current need for a double stack magazine... but back to the "engineer's wet dream" sentiment, the magazine retention and locking system means you can pretty much hang whatever you want off of that point, be it single, double, or even offset drum.
      Wouldn't it be interesting to come up with a spring-powered attachment that fits that magazine rail, that winds up and carries enough tension to de-link and feed 15-20 cartridges up a short chute and hold them in place for the bolt to pick up. Yes, it would need to be wound up when a new belt is loaded, but that removes the need for the firearm to run the system, and if you've sent out 20 rounds of .50BMG from this, you probably welcome a different activity for a short while.

I don't know about any other gun in the same calibre that a soldier can carry comfortably while sitting in the passenger seat of a car and in case of an attack it's ready to fire in 2-3 seconds, providing brutal firepower that can punch through almost a feet thick ironed concrete. That's why the barrel locks in when retracted and on release chambers a round automatically.

    One advantage of long recoil I hadn’t realized until this video; unlike most other self loading systems the bolt doesn’t have to be as long as the cartridge. This makes the receiver shorter and means you don’t need the extra weight of a full length .50 bolt. It’s almost like an artillery piece.
    Shame about the trigger though, it seems like that’s something they could have improved.

      Yeah, that's weird. It should be possible to make at least a non-mushy trigger, if not a really nice two-stage trigger.
      The military likes two stage triggers, so there's some give if a stick gets in the trigger guard.

    Feels like I missed something about the spring locking the bolt into the barrel. Is the spring the only thing doing that?

    Watch everyone flock to this now youve covered it in a video lmao ive been saying for years now this is the most advanced .50 BMG rifle out there, a league ahead of all others. Respect to the pioneers, Barrett ran so this thing could fly, but it sure as hell took off even if its not acknowledged yet. Far better balance, far more manageable size, far lighter than rifles of the same barrel length, and far easier disassembly. I would never attempt an M107 disassembly on my own if it werent necessary, the recoil springs are too difficult to compress. This was easily taken down, perhaps doable 1-handed even. Ppl moan about the precision but its not a sniper, its still sufficiently tight enough to do its job. Im not 6'6, if i want a .50 BMG that i can use without a crew, this is my only option.
