M107CQ

The M107CQ is a semi-auto sniper rifle introduced during the 11-25-09 Patch. It is unlocked at Captain I and costs 1400 GP for one day. This is the second one-hit-kill weapon that was introduced into Combat Arms, the first being the L96A1. This weapon is currently the most dangerous rival of the L9 series.

Real-Life Usage
The Barrett M107CQ is one of the few .50 caliber rifles in the world. The M107, an American-made rifle, was originally intended to be a long-distance anti-vehicle/armor sniper rifle. However, to increase portability in the field of battle, this variant had its barrel shortened, decreasing its effective range. Though that would seem to be a disadvantage, this gun is perfect for Combat Arms' smaller maps. The M107 and all its variants use a "floating barrel," meaning that the barrel does not actually touch any part of the rifle, except where it is connected to receiver. This greatly increases the ability of a user to consistently fire accurate shots, making it one of the most accurate rifles in the world. Currently used by U.S. military forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, this rifle is making its mark all over the world.

In-Game Usage
The M107CQ's scope provides two levels of magnification, allowing players to accurately pinpoint and take down targets at medium and long ranges. The scope on the M107 allows it to surpass the L96A1 in range and the first level of magnification is ideal for short range kills.

However, the drawbacks of this gun in-game include its slow reload and fire rate, not to mention its hefty recoil. Its inaccuracy is also a problem, even if you stop moving half a second before shooting, it will stilll probably miss. The double-scope also poses a problem for quick scoping and even for regular scoping.

Depending on the Player, the M107CQ and its variants could. be preferred over any L96A1 variant.

Popularity
The M107CQ is a very rare gun due to it's extremely high rank requirement, but it's NX variant M107CQ SE is one of the most popular items in the Black Market, bought from low ranking players wanting this awesomely overpowered gun.

Variants
Other versions of the M107CQ are:
 * the M107CQ Air Force (Supply Case SR)
 * the M107CQ SE (NX)
 * the M107CQ SE Ghillie (NX Supply Case - for now only Supply Case MYST-N).

Trivia

 * This weapon series is the first to incorporate dual-magnification in Combat Arms.
 * The Barrett M107 in real life does not have a dual-magnication system and has ten rounds instead of five but probably due to weapon balancing reasons, Combat Arms decreased it to five.
 * Unlike in real life the Barret M107CQ in Combat Arms is actually a fully automatic sniper like the the SR-25 or M39 EMR, but usually goes unnoticed due to its slow fire rate.
