The Pauza P-50 was a gas-operated, semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle developed by Robert Pauza.[1][2] It was manufactured between 1990 and 1997, and sold by Pauza Specialties of Baytown, Texas;[3] later versions were never produced by Freshour Manufacturing, a company in Texas City, Texas.[1][2] The rifle was developed to be a competitor to similar products by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, although only 36 P-50s were produced.[2]

Variants

The rifle was produced in variants consisting of a sniper rifle and a carbine rifle,[4] both in .50 caliber.[5]
