Article is very poorly written, gives no context for why it is significant, has no references and has been sitting around for years. Zackmann08 (talk) 23:36, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Merge SASR is the US designation for the M82 class of weapon which lacked the tight dispersion required of a military spec sniper rifle. Generalising this to other countries may be problematic but the worst case would be merger into another article such as sniper rifle. Andrew (talk) 09:03, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I like Andrew Davidson's idea of merging the article. It belongs with its own subsection (as long as it has some citations). Just my 2 cents. --Zackmann08 (talk) 15:52, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the Barrett M82 page. The term appears to be a Barrett trademark referring to the M82 type rifle. All other uses appear to be incidental.--RAF910 (talk) 02:54, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
