There's a few different ones.. the Barrett M81/M107 is probably the most well known. There are also the Barrett M95, Zastava Black Arrow M93, MacMillan Tac-50, and others.
Contrary to popular belief, the .50 BMG is not the most powerful cartridge used in a sniping/anti-material rifle - in fact, it pales in comparison to some of the others, such as the 14.5x115 cartridge used in the Gepard G3 and Denel NTW, or the 20x110 cartridge used by the RT-20 and Denel NTW-20x110.
M82 barret muzzle velocity: 854m/s That's 2900 fps, using a 720 grain bullet equals 12,900 ft/lbs of energy. That's 17,490 Newton-meters.
The effective range on the M107 Sniper rifle is listed as 2,000 yards, which is just over a mile. It can go this far because of the velocity and momentum it has to hit it target.
