Probably not 8 million worth. Did you check out the last entry on the page? 8 million dollar per year custodial contract for the pentagon. I wonder what the guy cleaning the toilets make per hour? Probably pretty good considering the clearance level required to get the job.

That adds up to 14 Barrett rifles.

That adds up to 14 Barrett rifles.

Math checks out.

Jokes aside... If you double the street price and add 5K in spare parts for each rifle I'll guess the order was for 175-200 units.
