The CheyTac M200 Intervention is a massive precision rifle chambered for the .408 CheyTac cartridge (although it can also be had in .375 CheyTac). It uses an action made by EDM Arms, and is capable of sub-MOA accuracy out to 2200-2500 yards (2000-2300 meters). There are other rifles that fulfill those specs as well, but the M200 Intervention gets an exaggerated amount of attention because it has a pretty distinctive look, with its large under-barrel carry handle and collapsing stock (you may recognize it from the 2007 movie "Shooter", based on a Stephen Hunter novel). Today I will take a look at some of the details of this rifle and its ammunition, and address the more common misunderstandings about it and long range shooting in general.

    The real question is what is your sensitivity
  • @JustSomeGuy489
    A rifle more well known for it's depiction in a video game then in real life or films. Not very often you can say that.

    How many headshots did it take to unlock this camo?
  • I like how professional shooters choose $3 spray paint finish for their $10k guns, but mall ninjas pay $200 to have their $500 Delton cerakoted.

    You didn't mention the rigorous wind tunnel testing this weapon went through to idealize its aerodynamics for 360 noscopes.

    1:32 Ian is the only human alive who can describe a sniper rifle's bipod as "sexy looking" and sound completely legit.
  • @markg2861
    How many 1v1 matches were won with this gun?
  • Hey guys, is this gun good for 360 No-Scoping? I'm asking for a friend.
  • @USAirsoft
    Finally someone makes a real video over this rifle, like you said, there's not a lot of info on the M200. As I've traveled states to film for events I've only seen one replica before and a manufacturer rep told me it was slightly lighter than the real thing but it was still an uncomfortable experience to handle, real respect goes out to the man who had to lug a real one to any location of distance.

    I just got the horrible idea of cutting one down to pistol size.
  • @MrEvilTag
    i feel so ashamed to say this, but call of duty is the only reason i knew about this gun
  • In case anyone is wondering, "Dohicky" is an industry term, and was chosen mainly for its compact form factor and ease-of-use. During the military testing process, it's primary competition was "Thingamabob". "Whatchamacallit" was also in the running, but dropped out earlier in the stress testing phase, as it was shown that its length and general overall unwieldiness prevented it from being used effectively.

    oh boy i can remember the time i had my good ol CheyTac ,,,,, back when i was in the Army we use to quickscope all day long. but it was tough believe me , from the Favela in Brazil to the chernobyl wasteland i have seen it all. even a Russian Sub base. yes it is true i fought all over the globe and the only thing i had was my good ol trusty Cheytac and a bottle of mountain dew. That where the good days ,,,, fighting side by side with my sqaud mates XDonDeathclawX , don diablo and don dimago those where the days for sure ,,,,, and ofcourse Owning those pesky squeakers while trowing insults at them. HaHa we gave them so much hell thats for sure. Now its all boosters,Jetpacks pewpew starwars stuff. ugh the generation of real Soldiers is long gone to Arma and Battlefield.

  • In short: Anyone can buy the finest violin in the world... but you still have to learn how to play it.
  • Just because I play video games doesn't mean that I am not a combat veteran.
  • @headglitch7003
    "This rifle can be accurate up to 3000 yards" And here I am being proud of hitting something at 500.
