The majority of this article covers information on Barrett's most famous invention, the M82 (rifle) rather than the man himself. I suggest deleting the duplicated material and trying to include more about the man himself. What does anyone else think? Also, I'm not conviced of the accuracy of the article anyway, e.g. the statement "It fires a six-inch long bullet, has a very low recoil..." - the bullet is a .50 BMG which is 12.7mm x 99mm (approximately 4 inches) and the gun kicks like a mule when it's fired.

This article should be deleted unless someone has any information on the man, not the machine. HallofMirrors 23:26, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
