Something new. In the gaming world, specifically Call of Duty, certain weapons are referred to by slang names rather than their technical designations. Usually, this doesn't bother me. However, among my friends and peers; I've noticed a new trend going on. Many people are absolutely awestruck by the pure size, magnitude, and power of the M82. Such a sleek, stunning, and beautiful weapon should be called by it's proper name, as you would call a beautiful woman by her name. With the Call of Duty series, this is not the case. In the game, they titled the M82 the "Barrett 50 Cal.". Granted, the weapon is made by Barrett Firearms, and it is chambered for the .50 BMG. But calling the M82 the "Barrett 50 Cal." Is like calling a beautiful woman "bitch". It's disrespectful, and should not be referred to as such a name. Plus, saying M82A1 is a hell of a lot easier. And the A1 isn't the only variant, as follows.
"M82A1"

"M82A2"

"M82A3"

Another thing is that the M82 is also designated the M107, a series which does not carry the M82A2.
I sure hope this has cleared things up for you folks, and COD fanboys.
Side Note:
The "Striker" is actually a DAO-12
The "Enfield" is an L85A1
The "Commando" is an EX-177, the first M4
(not a name issue) But the AKs-74U is a CARBINE, and not a SUB MACHINE GUN, seeing as it is chambered for the 5.45x39mm
And the Intervention is actually just an M200.
Email me if you have any ideas for what gun I should review next.
