The CheyTac M200 is a bolt-action sniper rifle categorized as an anti-materiel rifle (AMR). For additional information, an anti-materiel rifle (AMR) attacks military equipment rather than people (“anti-personnel”). British SAS and Polish GROM are some of the elite army units that commonly use the CheyTac M200.
