Conclusions ? Well...I'm not going
to make any, you have to do it. I just made this comparison because our GEPARD
claimed to be VERY good, (I read some American info sheet about it which said
it is far better than Barrett) and on the other hand, Barrett is the most popular
.50 cal. rifle in the world, but they seemed to be equally to me. Hmm...one
is far more accurate, other one is not so heavy. I don't want to say GEPARD
is better, because you will think I am saying it just because of national pride.
But one final thought. What do you think, in such a large caliber, which one
is more important, some more weight, or the twice as good accuracy ? :))
One more thing. I know that Gepard M1 is a single shot one, but the M6 version
has the very same accuracy, and it is a self loading semi-auto. (I know only
its accuracy,but not the weight/muzzle vel...etc, thats why I used the M1 here
)
