- Would it be silly to request a change of the name of the page from simply 'Barrett M82' to 'Barrett M82 series'? Mainly because there are several guns within the 82 model name (M82/M82A1/A2/CQ/etc), much like the Mossberg 500 Series and other such pages. Just a thought.

If you go to the [http://www.barrett.net/firearms/model82a1 Barrett website] it would seem that what used to be called the M107 (and what is listed as the M107 on this site) is now sold by Barrett as the M82A1. Even though M82A1 is the correct name, should this rifle still be identified as the M107 so avoid confusion and put a note in the M107 section about the name change or what?

Additional Variants
Also appears in "Superman returns", about 52 mins in the movie in a shoot out scene on a roof top of a building. A police officer (credited as "Police Sharp Shooter": Phillip Henry) operates a Barrett .50 BMG, can't say if it's a M107 or M82A1.
Possible Rename?

M107 is now also called the M82A1
If you go to the Barrett website it would seem that what used to be called the M107 (and what is listed as the M107 on this site) is now sold by Barrett as the M82A1. Even though M82A1 is the correct name, should this rifle still be identified as the M107 so avoid confusion and put a note in the M107 section about the name change or what? Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Also, I didn't realise but it seems that the M82A1/M107 is also available in .416 Barrett, and seems to be able to be distinguished by a different flash hider:
