Yeah, the intervention is a real gun. Its really called the M200 Intervention and is made by CheyTac. MW@ noobs just love the thing to death because they can quick scope/no scope with it so easily.

It would be nice if you could cycle the bolt while scoping though. I kinda hate having to either wait to cycle while watching to see if my shot will hit or not, rather than cycling while watching.
