The Pauza P-50 was a gas-operated, semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle developed by Robert Pauza.[1] It was manufactured between 1990 and 1997, and sold by Pauza Specialties of Baytown, Texas;[2] later versions were never produced by Freshour Manufacturing, a company in Texas City, Texas.[3] [1] The rifle was developed to be a competitor to similar products by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, although only 36 P-50s were produced.[1]
The rifle was produced in variants consisting of a sniper rifle and a carbine rifle,[4] both in .50 caliber.[5]
