The way I see it, the M40 is much better when playing against non-juggernauts, but most of my friends would argue they can get a second shot off much faster with the Barrett.
Barrett pros -Higher fire-rate (questionable, but I've gotten plenty of kill by "spraying") -OSK on juggernaut if hit in chest -More ammunition -Ability to spray in CQB
Barrett cons -I think it takes longer to draw/holster -longer reload (takes forever) -IMO, I flinch on some shots because of higher perceived recoil
M40 pros -Faster reload -Ability to load 1 shot at a time -quicker draw/holster -IMO, it hit more shots with it -Low recoil
M40 cons -slower fire-rate -Lower power
I prefer the M40, just because I feel better with it. Statistically the Barret seems better, and it probably would be the first choice for many players.

I would say that statistically the Barrett is superior, but the M40 definitely "feels" a lot quicker and more accurate, even if it isn't. I do a bit better with the Barrett, but not that much better.

How long does it take the Barrett to recenter? I guess I sort of assumed it was about the same as the M40 which negates it's faster RoF (except when firing from the hip, but that's REALLY annoying so I don't do it), then there's the ACOG bonus, and I use the ACOG because it works better at the ranges I tend to be at. I haven't used the Barrett that much but I really like the M40.

The Barrett resets fast enough that its RoAF (rate of accurate fire) is slightly faster than the M40's. But if you are using an ACOG, the M40 is the only way to go.

Well, actually the Barret resets at about the same time, but it can get another shot off much faster.
I've forced myself to use the .50, and I think it is a great weapon, but I think the M40 is better for hardscopes. I love the Barrett in TDM where I railgun more, but in SND (thats usually all i play) I love the M40, because with the M40, I tend to take a little more time on my shots because I know I won't have another chance.
I think the Barrett is a better weapon, but I just can't get over the psychological limitations that I have.
