The art is great but I love nitpicking, so I will. First off, why is there a riser on the rail that the scope connects to? That’s just another point of failure that can be knocked loose. Second, the lines of the rifle, muzzle brake, and shape of the ejection port tell me that this rifle is a Barrett M82A1. There is the issue of the bipod. Most snipers would mount the bipod to the chassis of the rifle, as anything touching the barrel will affect the shot, especially if that something is a 29 pound rifle being supported only by the barrel. Then there’s the issue of operation. There are a lot of methods that rifles use to automatically cycle, but what the Barrett M82A1 uses is a mechanism called short recoil operation. When the bullet begins to move down the barrel, there is a lot of pressure behind it, and the bullet needs to leave the barrel, and pressure needs to drop to safe levels before the breech should open. The force that pushes the bullet foreward also pushes the case backward, which, in a short recoil operated action allows the bolt to begin its rearward travel, but the bolt is locked to the barrel, so the barrel cycles backwards with the bolt for a short amount of time, long enough for the pressure to drop to safe levels, before it unlocks from the bolt and the bolt continues its firing cycle, extracting the case, ejecting the case, and loading the new round. A bipod would severely limit the barrels ability to move, and therefore, the ability of the rifle to properly function.
