United States Military relies on many different sniper weapons to take out enemy soldiers and other targets that are not material from afar. The Army has been using a variety of designs for decades. These range in size from Remington 700 classic to the Barrett 82 much bigger. A new model could shake up the current system. The last time we attended SHOT Show 2022, we got a close look at the slick-looking barrett 30mm infantry support rifle which could turn out to be the finest of its kind to date.

Barrett Firearms, a leading manufacturer of firearms designed for the military and MARS Inc. a tech company that was the winner of Army’s xTechSoldier Lethality Competition have collaborated to create the barrett 30mm Infantry Support Rifle. Squad Support Rifle System (SSRS) was the idea behind. It is intended to play an important function in the coming Army lethality of soldiers by offering advanced anti-defilade capabilities to neutralize hidden threats. The system is also designed to thwart unmanned aerial vehicles and threats dismounted.

In contrast to the M320 variant, unlike the M320, SSRS is capable of firing multiple rounds in one go and is able to engage targets as far as 500 metres away. It’s semi-automatic, magazine-fed and utilizes a flat trajectory to cut off round flight times for longer distances.

It’s also able to fire weapons that are able to be tailored to various situations. These include proximity airburst to destroy people, proximity delay to take out vehicles that are in defilade, gated proximity airburst in cluttered areas and mechanical point detonate that can eliminate targets that are made of lighter material as well as self-destructing to reduce collateral damage.

At present, the SSRS is under test and development but it is planned to go into production later this year. In 2024 Barrettforsale, the company plans to display it as its latest contribution towards the Army’s Precision Grenade System Program at the Association of the United States Army annual meeting (AUSA). The PGS is meant to replace the outdated M320 launched grenade, with the SSRS scheduled to launch alongside the other competitors like FN American’s PGS-001.
