Due to the larger diameter of the shell than the original 7.62×51mm round, the AWM's magazine capacity is only 5 rounds in a single row in order not to change the width of the magazine and the relevant dimensions of the aluminum base. With a width of 16mm and a height of 101mm, the magazine can hold 6 rounds in principle. However, this will only allow the magazine to be fully inserted when the bolt is open, and only a 5-round magazine will be inserted into place if the bolt is in the latched position. The AWM has a rear kickstand on the rear rest that can be adjusted by threading, but the adjustment process is time-consuming due to the delicate threading.

The .300 Winchester-Magnum Rifle Cartridge (7.62×67mm) greatly increases muzzle velocity and kinetic energy, resulting in higher end-of-line energy at longer distances, and is also more accurate than the regular .308 Winchester, but only slightly inferior to the best competition-grade .308 Winchester, but with greater resistance to wind deflection and longer distances.

The .338 Lapu-Magnum rifle cartridge (8.6×70mm) uses a 250 grain boat-shaped tail warhead, which does not drop much speed above 1200 meters, and the kinetic energy at 1000 meters is still 1770 joules, which is more than 1300

m is still extremely lethal, so the .338 Lap-Magnum bullet has more power and longer range than the .308 Winchester bullet. Compared with most .50BMG caliber rifles, the .338 Lapu-Magnum rifle is lower in terms of full gun weight, recoil, muzzle flame, gunsmoke and gunfire sound, although the end energy of the .338 Lapu-Magnum bullet is smaller than that of the .50BMG, but the ballistic performance, wind deflection resistance and penetration ability of the two are similar, and it has better shooting accuracy than the .50BMG bullet, so the .338 Lapu-Magnum is more suitable for accurate shooting at long range than the .308 Winchester.

The British Army was the first user to adopt the .338 Lapu-Magnum caliber AWM, which was designated L115A1 and used as a platoon-level support weapon. In 2008, the .338AWM-F with the folding stock was purchased, designated L115A3.

AWP (Arctic Warfare Police - AWP) is a rifle developed by the British Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company for sniper missions, and its design idea is: whether the barrel is clean or not, it must be the first hit. The AWP sniper rifle is a masterpiece of the British International Precision Equipment Co., Ltd. It was improved on the basis of the L96A1 rifle and appeared at the end of the 80s of the 20th century. It was designed in accordance with the requirements of the British Army's test regulations for the new sniper rifle, emphasizing reliability in Arctic climates. One of its main features is that the structural design takes into account the problem of anti-freeze, such as the design of a special surface protective layer, a shallow groove to absorb ice chips and soil slag, a three-position safety handle, and a manual bolt opening and closing lock mechanism that slides freely. AW is an abbreviation for the word Arcticwarfare, which means Arctic warfare. But it is not only suitable for use in cold Arctic regions, it can work reliably at -40°C, but it can also be used in the tropics. Its performance in hot and humid climates is also quite good.

The AWP is equipped with a simple yet rugged detachable mechanical sight and a reinforced bipod. Both the stock and handguard are made of high-strength plastic. The removable magazine contains 10 rounds of NATO 7.62 mm ammunition. The significant advantage of removable magazines is the ability to reload faster. It shoots with a very high accuracy and is the best sniper rifle in the world today. The total length of the gun is 1.2 meters, the barrel length is 650 mm, and the gun weighs 6.49 kg (without bipod). AW sniper rifles have been exported to more than 40 countries. Available: 7.62mm NATO, 0.300" Winchester Magnum, 0.338" Lapua Magnum, 14.5×114mm, 12.7×99mm, 20×82mm.

AWM is the basic model of the AW gun family. Originally, the AW rifle was only available in the 7.62mm NATO caliber version, but in 1998, AI introduced the 5.56mm NATO caliber AW. The standard AW receiver is machined from a single solid piece of forged carbon steel with thick walls, a flat bottom and sides, and a monolithic scope guide that is machined at the top of the receiver.
