I just thought that I would bump this thread, seeing as I'm a proponent of the Barret M82 becoming a part of the BrickArms line. It really is an attractive weapon, while maintaining an angular and deadly appearance. As much as I like the standard version . . .  . . . I wonder if the AN/PVS-10 Sniper Night Sight would add more interest.  This is taking into consideration that both the PSG1 and M21 Sniper Weapon System, both part of the regular BrickArms line, have conventional scopes. What do you all think? obxcrew

Hmm I don't know about this, I mean the scope looks quite chubby. It's larger that the magazine (almost). I think a conventional scope would look much more classy. Now it's like: stock, trigger, SCOPE, mag, barrel. I disagree on you this time Obx. Henk

I like this gun and think it would make a darned cool BrickArm. I agree with Henk about obx's scope being a bit big. My personal opinion is that a more conventional scope would look better.

I think that the Barett, if produced, should have a larger, but not massive, scope on it. Perhaps length more than height and width. At least, that's my opinion.
I love M21s.

Henk I just came up with an idea, is it possible to make it so that the rifle has a sort of clip that the Bipod or Monopod has so you can clip on any scope you wish? Like the TLC Lightsaber Hilt for a scope shown below. It can be a good substitute for a modern scope.  Or maybe the TLC Space/Sci-Fi Binoculars shown below for that Sci-Fi Sniper Rifle look many wanted.  And if that doesn't satisfy the scope desire, then maybe BA can produce two M82-A3. One with a conventional scope, and one with the Monopod/Bipod clip stuck on top to hold the two "Scope Suggestions" shown above. Any other suggestions?

i agree it would be nice to be able to adjust the scope on your sniper it would help with anyone who wants to create their own m14 but doesnt want to have to cut off the scope of the m21 because face it the m14 looks alot like the m21 without a scope

Uhh, stupid monkey, the M14 IS the M21. Although I'm late, I put my vote in for this gun!

Uh. . . . What? The M21 Sniper Weapon System is NOT the actual M14 without a scope, but an adaptation with obvious changes (That's what I've researched so far). Plus, the BA M1 Garand with a Monopod that is stuck underneath to represent an Ammo Clip is already a good representation of an M14, so there is no reason to produce another M14 (Well, not that I see) Aren't we talking about the M82-A3 here though? Back on topic. . . . I'd have to disagree with most of you guys. I do like the Conventional Scope, but like Obx said, we already have two Sniper Rifles with the Conventional Scope. Personally, I'd like a different scope on a Sniper Rifle. BUT the Night Sight is a bit, big. I'm not a fan of it. I'm sticking with my idea of making Two M82-A3s so that one can have the conventional scope while the other might/can have a Monopod Clip so that it can clip on a Removeable scope like the TLC Lightsaber Hilt that can double as a Modern Scope or for a more Sci-Fi look on the M82, how about that TLC Sci-Fi Binoculars as a Sci-Fi scope?

I'm not quite certain a built in clip for the scope would be within will's molding capabilities, as he has mentioned that issue before. Of course you could just throw on a u-clip, but it sound's to me that the gun should come with a pre-molded scope. I think it would be cheaper, and if it had one pre-installed, there would be no real reason to remove it, even if you planned to place a different scope on it. it would also likely have a cleaner appearance with a pre-installed gun.
I also have to say that despite what others think, I'd actually prefer the more compact XM109 mentioned earlier. It looks almost Identical, but to me at least, it seems to have more of a mini fig type scale. I liked the psg1, but because of the shortened stock, The barrel looked just a bit over sized to me. I think the compact look would be much less noticeable to naysayers with the likelihood of a shortened stock.
(I'm not saying that Will will certainly shorten the stock, but it would fit the pattern of the past)

Well maybe you can cut off the scope that is origionally ther and attach your own scope with the U-Clips that might be coming out (Eventually)

I'm not into the idea of the U-clip and light-saber grip scope. I think that a built-in scope would look better. maybe the long-lost idea of the scope with a clip on the bottom would work, but I don't think that the TLC lightsaber grip is very satisfying. I mean, put one of those down next to your BA-M5. It's half the size of a BA-M5!
I love M21s.

I like the XM109 is better. Its more balanced.

I really like the idea of one of the 50. caliber beratta's being the next brickarms weapons it is a very unique weapon with many uses and could be placed in many moc's i personally would prefer a longer barrel and more sleek looking scope and since the overall design stays similiar in all barret's will's could simply be the BA Barret and have some lego/style modifications to the original design. This would definantly be my favorite gun for brickarms to produce in the final 2008/2009 mold

Sheesh, I can't believe were bringing up the XM109 again. That was from months ago. I'm over it now. I generally prefer the M82 as the Barret's length is one of it's defining features.

Agreed. I believe that the-wait, isn't the XM109 simply an update of the M82A3 *flips over to wikipidia*
Oops, once again, I am foiled by designation. The XM109 is the anti-material rifle.
Edit: As I was saying, the XM109 looks just too bulky. I think it takes the power that the Barrett shows and just beefs it up too much. Anyway, I'd use the MGL if I was a minifig taking on a truck. Barretts are just too heavy.
I love M21s.
