Deadly long-range. Military Review and Politics Heavy sniper rifles

Large-caliber sniper rifles are a special type of sniper rifles with a caliber from 9 mm to 20 mm inclusive. As a rule, such models are significantly superior to ordinary sniper rifles in terms of effective firing range, bullet energy, dimensions, weight and recoil, which leaves an imprint on their use. Currently, Russia has created a sufficient number of interesting solutions in this area, which are presented by both state and private manufacturers of small arms.

The main area of ​​application of large-caliber sniper rifles is the disabling of unarmored and lightly armored enemy equipment, including low-flying or grounded helicopters and airplanes; protected firing points (firing at embrasures and observation devices of pillboxes); control, communication and reconnaissance equipment (satellite communication antennas, radar, etc.); destruction of unexploded bombs and mines. Also, such rifles are quite effective in anti-sniper warfare.

The modern development of large-caliber sniper rifles dates back to the appearance in the United States of the M500 sniper rifle, which was created in 1981 by RAP. It was the M-500 rifle that was the first to be put into service with the American army and was intended to solve the problems of combating enemy lightly armored vehicles, fortifications and other rather complex tasks. At the same time, real success for the new weapon came after the appearance of the M82 rifle, developed by weapons designer Ronnie Barrett. The rifle he created chambered for the NATO 12.7x99 mm cartridge effectively solved all sniper tasks at firing ranges above 1500 meters. In the army, this rifle received the nickname “Light Fifty” (“Light fifty dollars”). It was after the appearance of the M82 rifle in the United States that a real boom in such weapons began. Currently, overseas, more than fifty companies have created solutions for the 12.7x99 mm cartridge, as well as special ammunition. 308, .338 Lapua Magnum, and later the most interesting and promising ammunition 408 Cheyenne Tactical, or CheyTac for short.

Russia has not remained aloof from the development of such weapon systems. At the same time, Russian large-caliber sniper rifles are a completely competitive product. To create such rifles, both here and in the USA, cartridges were used that were borrowed from heavy machine guns: 12.7x99 mm (USA and NATO) and 12.7x108 mm (Russia). This decision is rational and has a fairly impressive basis: the power of such a cartridge would be enough to penetrate any standard military means of protection and armor throughout the entire flight path of the bullet. But such rifles also have disadvantages. Due to their high energy and large mass, the potential of large-caliber sniper rifles cannot be realized within the framework of maneuverable combat. They can be used from specially equipped sniper positions or for anti-sniper activities as part of special forces teams.

OSV-96 "Burglar"

Large-caliber sniper rifles today are a special source of pride for Russian gunsmiths. One of the brightest representatives of this class of weapons is the OSV-96 rifle with the sonorous nickname “Burglar,” which was so nicknamed for its unique characteristics. It is considered the first Russian model of a large-caliber sniper rifle, which is capable of hitting not only manpower, but also various enemy equipment at long distances. The rifle was created in Tula at the Instrument Design Bureau (KBP) in the mid-1990s (designer Arkady Georgievich Shipunov). OSV-96 "Burglar" was put into service in March 2000.

The OSV-96 rifle is designed to engage unarmored and lightly armored targets at distances of up to 1,800 meters, as well as enemy personnel behind cover and wearing personal protective equipment at ranges of up to 1,000 meters. When firing sniper cartridges in series of 4-5 shots at a distance of 100 meters, the dispersion diameter does not exceed 50 mm. One of the main disadvantages of the rifle is the very loud sound when fired. Because of this, it is recommended to fire from the OSV-96 large-caliber sniper rifle while wearing headphones.

OSV-96 is a self-loading large-caliber sniper rifle that operates on the principle of using powder gases. The issue of large dimensions, which is typical for weapons of this class, was resolved due to design features. In the stowed position, the rifle can be folded: the barrel, together with the gas exhaust system, is tilted back to the right and pressed against the receiver, while the receiver and the breech end of the barrel are closed from possible clogging using a cover. In the folded position, the Burglar does not exceed the dimensions of a conventional SVD rifle, which allows the shooter to be easily placed in vehicles and armored vehicles. The rifle is transferred from the folded position to the firing position and back in a matter of seconds.

The weapon's features include self-loading and an effective muzzle device, which reduces the sniper's fatigue and allows him to fire at a high rate of fire. And the height-adjustable bipod allows you to take the most comfortable position for shooting. The rifle also has 24-hour use due to the use of different types of sights, including night vision. And a long effective firing range, which allows the sniper to be out of range of aimed fire from small arms of conventional calibers. At the same time, a 12.7 mm sniper bullet has three times less drift than a 7.62 mm bullet.

TTX OSV-96 “Burglar”:

Cartridge type: 12.7x108 mm (sniper SPTs-12.7) or 12.7x108 mm cartridges from heavy machine guns.
The target firing range is up to 1800 m.
Weight without magazine and optical sight - 12.9 kg.
Dimensions: in combat position - 1746x431x425 mm, in stowed position - 1154x132x190 mm.

Shooting mode - single.

VKS/VSSK "Exhaust"

For cases that require a special approach from shooters, Russian gunsmiths have found a fairly effective system in their arsenal - the VKS/VSSK “Exhaust”. Of course, the effective firing range of such a rifle is lower than that of its counterparts. Sighting range - 600 meters. But the STs-130 ammunition of 12.7x55 mm caliber, weighing 76 grams, used in the rifle allows it to hit almost any target almost silently, as far as the caliber of this ammunition allows. At the same time, another competitive advantage of the sniper rifle was its weight, which is almost 3 times less than the weight of its “louder” brothers in caliber.

This sniper rifle was created by designer Vladimir Zlobin from 1999 to 2004. The rifle was created under a special order, which came from the Special Purpose Center of the FSB of Russia. This sniper rifle is produced at the Central Design and Research Bureau of Sports and Hunting Weapons (TsKIB SOO) in the city of Tula. The STs-130 cartridges used in this rifle allow you to penetrate a 15-mm steel plate at a distance of 200 meters or a body armor of class 5 protection at a distance of 100 meters.

The main task that the “Exhaust” sniper rifle must solve is the destruction of protected targets, including those using personal armor protection (PIB) of class 4-6, targets located behind shelters, obstacles, as well as enemy vehicles, unarmored and lightly armored vehicles at a distance of up to 600 meters with a flameless and silent shot due to the use of a silencer of an original design and special powerful ammunition with subsonic bullet speed. Structurally, this rifle is a non-automatic weapon with manual reloading with the layout of its mechanisms and parts according to the “bullpup” scheme. The rifle is equipped with an integrated silencer, which can be removed for cleaning and when transporting the weapon.

TTX VKS/VSSK "Exhaust":

Cartridge type: 12.7x55 mm (SPTs-130).
Sighting range - up to 600 m.
The weight of the rifle with an empty magazine and without an optical sight is 6.5 kg.
Dimensions without optical sight: 1125x220x220 mm.
Magazine capacity - 5 rounds.
Shooting mode - single.

Sniper complex 6S8

Currently, the “royal crown” among all Russian large-caliber rifles belongs to the 6S8 sniper rifle, created at the plant named after. Degtyareva. This rifle was created back in 1997, but for various reasons it was not accepted into service for a long time and was not mass-produced. Having collected all the developments over 10 years and worked on the mistakes, the Degtyarev team managed to get their weapons accepted into service. This happened in June 2013. The ASVK rifle (large-caliber army sniper rifle) was adopted by the Russian Armed Forces under the designation 12.7 mm sniper complex 6S8.

The 12.7-mm 6S8 sniper rifle is designed to solve special fire missions to defeat unarmored and lightly armored enemy vehicles, as well as openly located manpower, including personal armor, group targets and other technical means at a distance of up to 1500 meters. The rifle can be used with a specially created 7N34 sniper cartridge and the entire range of conventional 12.7x108 mm caliber cartridges.

Structurally, this large-caliber sniper rifle was made according to the bullpup design. When using this scheme, as is known, the trigger is located in front of the firing mechanism (trigger mechanism), which makes it possible to reduce the size and weight of the weapon, resulting in increased maneuverability and compactness. In general, this sniper rifle turned out to be quite simple and reliable, which is very important for army weapons. And reviews of its combat use are mostly positive.

Cartridge type: 12.7x108 mm (sniper 7N34).
Sighting range - 1500 m.
The weight of the rifle with an empty magazine and without an optical sight is 12.5 kg.
Rifle length - 1420 mm, barrel length - 1000 mm.
Magazine capacity - 5 rounds.
Shooting mode - single.

SVLK-14S

But what to do when it comes to hitting targets located beyond the mark of 1500, or even 2000 meters? Russian gunsmiths will also have an answer to this. We are talking about sniper rifles, which are created by Vladislav Lobaev. His companies “Tsar Cannon”, Design Bureau of Integrated Systems and his own brand “Lobaev Arms” are the first in our country to begin the development and production of high-precision and long-range weapons, from the barrel to the butt. If previously Lobaev's sniper rifles were produced for an individual client (most of the Lobaev Arms rifles are a commercial product intended for sale to individuals), now the company presents a whole series of sniper rifles, polished and monstrously powerful, designed for different calibers . The leader among them is one of the best sniper ammunition available today - .408 CheyTac.

According to Lobaev, the main tasks of Lobaev Arms production are distributed almost equally - this is the commercial component and work with Russian law enforcement agencies. If we talk about the second point, then, for example, the FSO is well familiar with rifles designed by Lobaev. Employees of the Federal Security Service have repeatedly won victories in various sniper shooting competitions with his rifles. Currently, in terms of range (one of the most important indicators), rifles from the Russian company Lobaev Arms are among the first in the world.

One of the most powerful solutions from Lobaev Arms in terms of effective firing range is the SVLK-14S rifle. It is worth noting that beyond two kilometers is already an prohibitive distance for sniper fire. Cases where snipers hit real targets at such a range are known, but there was more luck in them than the real capabilities of modern weapons. At the same time, the SVL rifle was originally developed in order to break through this barrier, turning an accurate hit on a target at a distance of more than 2000 meters into a guaranteed result. The rifle completed its task successfully, but the Lobaev Arms company decided not to stop there and presented an improved version of the rifle under the designation SVLK-14S.

The latest world record for the range of a successful sniper shot is 2475 meters. But in reality, the vast majority of snipers work at significantly shorter shooting distances. It is worth noting that effective shooting at a distance of more than a mile requires not only high personal skill of the shooter, but also specialized shooting weapon systems of the highest level of accuracy, which are simply not available to the vast majority of shooters of special services or army units. At the same time, the SVLK-14S is just such an ultra-precise sniper system.

As you can easily guess, the index “14” in the name of the ultra-long-range rifle indicates the year of its development. SVL stands for “Lobaev sniper rifle”, and the letter “K” in the index indicates the use of the King v.3 bolt group. This bolt group consists of a receiver in an aluminum body in which a hardened steel insert is secured. The "C" at the end of the rifle's name is a reference to the English word Single. The basic model of the large-caliber sniper rifle SVLK-14S was and remains single-shot. This approach ensures sufficient rigidity of the bolt box due to the presence of a minimum number of grooves in it and, as a result, a very high level of accuracy when shooting. The SVLK-14S rifle allows the shooter to confidently hit targets at a range of up to 2300 meters.

TTX SVLK-14S:

Cartridge type: .408 Cheytac/.338LM/.300WM.
Technical accuracy: 0.3 MOA/9 mm between centers (5 shots at 100 meters).
Maximum effective range: 2300 m.
Rifle weight: 9.6 kg.
Dimensions: 1430x96x175 mm.
The store is not.
Shooting mode - single.

It is widely believed these days that since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's defense industry has been in trouble, and in fact is slowly dying. As proof of this, many cite the fact that the Kalashnikov assault rifle still remains the main weapon in the Russian army, however, in contrast to this opinion, there are also defenders of the Kalashnikov assault rifle who consider it a weapon that has no analogues. But this is a topic for a separate conversation, and now I propose to consider how true is the statement that “before the sky was higher and the grass was greener”, are new types of weapons simply not being created or information about them is simply not advertised? As an example, I propose to take such an exotic class of weapon as a large-caliber sniper rifle, since the development of SSV is the most unjustified cost for the Ministry of Defense, due to the low demand for such weapons in the army. In addition, this material can be considered a continuation of the previously posted article “Large-caliber sniper rifles.” If in the previous review the main characters were rifles with a caliber greater than 12.7 millimeters, then here the caliber bar has been lowered to this value, since cartridges with a 12.7 caliber are among the most common for “amti-material” rifles. But those models that have a larger caliber are exotic and almost all of them fit into the previous article. Sniper rifle V-94

In the early 90s, the Instrument Design Bureau of the city of Tula began the development of a large-caliber sniper rifle that could cope with the tasks of: defeating enemy personnel at long distances, clearing mines, including underwater ones, defeating lightly armored vehicles, as well as combating enemy snipers.

The five-shot rifle is made in a classic layout. The work is based on the principle of removing powder gases from the holes in the barrel into a gas piston located offset to the left relative to the axis of the weapon barrel; the barrel bore is locked by 4 stops. The recoil damping system is distinguished by its asceticism; for this purpose, the rifle is equipped with a two-chamber muzzle brake, and a shock-absorbing rubber butt pad is also placed on the butt. Hand on heart, it’s hard to call this recoil damping system super-efficient, but provided that it practically does not increase the weight of the weapon and reduces the impact of a shot with a fairly powerful cartridge on the shooter to tolerable limits, it can be called quite acceptable. Offset to the left side of the weapon is a two-row magazine with a capacity of five rounds, which ensures fairly convenient reloading of the weapon, and on the left there is also a bar for attaching dovetail sights.

Due to the fact that the weapon uses more powerful 12.7x108 cartridges, improved to improve the accuracy of fire, the large-caliber V-94 sniper rifle can be equipped not only with the PSO-1 sight, but also with the POS 13x60 and POS 12x56 optical sights, in addition to the rifle Laser target designators can be installed, operating both in the range visible to the human eye and in the infrared.

Unfortunately, the designers failed to solve the main problem inherent in all large-caliber rifles, namely, to at least slightly reduce the volume of the shot. The sound of a shot in the B-94 is really very powerful; in this case there is no need to say that it unmasks the shooter, since the shooter himself, without using hearing aid protection, loses his hearing for several minutes after the shot. But many people neglect headphones or at least earplugs, and completely in vain.

The ammunition used in the large-caliber B-94 rifle was created specifically for it on the basis of the 12.7x108 mm cartridge. They are called 12.7 CH and have increased armor-piercing power and accuracy of fire, due to the hardened steel core, as well as due to tighter tolerances in the manufacture of ammunition. The mass of the bullet in this ammunition is 56 grams, which allows it to maintain its fairly high impulse when fired over long distances, ensuring guaranteed defeat of an enemy dressed in modern body armor of the highest class at a distance of up to 1200 meters. When shooting at a distance of 100 meters, the V-94 SWR has a dispersion of 50 mm across, which (attention “snipers” who tell on the site’s forum that at a distance of 1000 meters they are guaranteed to hit a target commensurate with the head of a person from the SVD) 1.5 times less than the Dragunov sniper rifle. In addition to 12.7 CH ammunition, the large-caliber B-94 sniper rifle can use armor-piercing incendiary tracer ammunition BZT-44 and armor-piercing incendiary ammunition B-32 and BS, and, of course, machine gun cartridges 12.7x108, however, when firing fire with these ammunition, both the accuracy of fire and the armor-piercing power drop significantly.

The manufacturer declared the effective range of the rifle to be 2000 meters, however, in practice, aimed fire from it can be carried out at a distance of up to 1200-1500 meters, depending on the level of training of the shooter and weather conditions. When using night sights, the effective range is reduced to 600 meters. The solution to the problem of large weapon dimensions was found quite simply. So the B-94 rifle, having a length of 1700 millimeters, in the traveling state has a length of only 1100 millimeters. Such compact dimensions are achieved by breaking the weapon at the receiver to the right, which not only has a positive effect on the ease of transportation of the SWR, but also significantly reduces the time it takes to prepare the weapon for firing, which is especially important in combat conditions. The weight of the weapon without ammunition is 11.7 kilograms, so the B-94 can easily be transported by one person.

Sniper rifle OSV-96

Since the large-caliber sniper rifle V-94 did not fully satisfy the requirements for SWR, it was decided to modify the model in order to increase the effective firing range, as well as reduce recoil.

There are practically no fundamental differences between the B-94 and OSV-96, with the exception of a longer and more effective muzzle brake and debugging of the rifle mechanism so that it has less impact on the accuracy of fire. So the main differences were higher performance when firing, in particular, it became possible to conduct aimed fire using 12.7 CH ammunition at a distance of up to 1800 meters, instead of 1500, and the recoil when firing was slightly reduced. At the same time, the weight and dimensions of the weapon increased. So the weight of the weapon is 12.9 kilograms, and the length is 1746 and 1154 millimeters in combat and traveling condition, respectively.

It was in this version of modernization that the OSV-96 rifle was adopted by the Russian Army and proved itself to be excellent in combat during the First and Second Chechen Wars.

Sniper rifle SVN-98

In view of the fact that Tula gunsmiths managed to create a large-caliber sniper rifle, which received the highest rating and excellent reviews, Kovrov’s designers also began to develop similar weapons, with the goal of creating a SWR that was superior in all respects to the Tula model. 4 designers worked on the development at once: M. Yu. Kuchin, N. Yu. Ovchinnikov, E. V. Zhuravlev and V. I. Negrulenko, in view of the fact that Negrulenko made the main contribution to the development of weapons, the rifle bears his last name (SVN - Negrulenko sniper rifle).

The rifle is based on a bullpup layout, and the automation operates on the basis of a sliding bolt, so this development cannot be called something new, since similar samples of large-caliber weapons have existed for a long time in other countries, and the designers did not try to reinvent the wheel. The main efforts were aimed at making a lighter and more accurate rifle in comparison with the OSV-96.

In order for the weapon to gain greater stability, the barrel was made heavier, and to soften the recoil, a muzzle brake was developed, which was supposed to soften the impact on the shooter when firing by 2.5 times. The designers achieved the latter only in theory, although in comparison with the Tula version of the SSV, the SVN-98 muzzle brake is more effective.

The result was that it became truly possible to conduct more or less targeted fire at the distance of 2000 meters declared by the manufacturers. The length of the weapon was 1350 millimeters and the weight was 11 kilograms. However, in comparison with OSV-96, the large-caliber SVN-98 sniper rifle had one significant drawback - the inability to reduce the size of the weapon for transportation in a short time, as well as quickly bring the rifle into combat readiness. Besides, there was still the problem of the loud gunshot.

The ammunition used in the weapon is the same as for the B-94 and OSV-96

Sniper rifle KSVK / ASVK

Having reconsidered their views on the fact that the main parameter for a large-caliber sniper rifle should be range, the designers of the city of Kovrov began to modernize the previously created SVN-98. In the course of improving the weapon, the rifling of the barrel was changed, which increased the armor-piercing power of the fired bullet, but had a negative impact on its direct flight in the air. Thus, the sighting range of the rifle decreased by 1500 meters, but the accuracy of fire at a distance of up to 1500 meters was not affected by this. This cannot be considered a negative consequence of modernization, since a distance of two kilometers is inaccessible even for a sniper with an above-average level of training, regardless of the weapon he uses, but the increase in armor-piercing power has indeed become a fairly good argument for a positive review of this weapon model. It should be noted here that the KSVK, later ASVK, is rightfully considered the most powerful sniper rifle created in Russia. In addition to the barrel, the muzzle brake was modernized, which actually softened the recoil by 2.5 times, this time in practice, and not in theory. When using machine gun cartridges, which, by the way, are standard for this rifle model, the dispersion at a distance of 300 meters is 16 centimeters; naturally, when using 12.7 CH, the accuracy of fire becomes much better. During the modernization process, the dimensions and weight of the weapon were increased in comparison with the KSV START-98 - the weight of the rifle is 12 kilograms, and its length is 1400 millimeters. As you can see, over a period of time slightly greater than 10 years, 4 weapons from a class that was not in high demand were created. Of course, we can say that this niche was empty and needed to be filled urgently. But in this case, there were no special orders from the Ministry of Defense, no competitions were held, and all development was carried out exclusively on the initiative of the designers themselves, which indicates the presence of constantly allocated funds for the development of new, even if only prototype, weapons. Well, the fact that only a few percent of the created models have become, or will still be, put into service is also not a fact in favor of the statement about the slow collapse of the military industry; if you delve into the sources, you will see how many different interesting and quite capable samples of weapons passed the cash register back in the dawn of the USSR. Naturally, the development of weapons is not in full swing, but it is not standing still, as evidenced by the 4 rifles above and dozens of other models of small arms and military equipment. Another question is that many of the models even adopted for service do not receive at least minimal distribution in the ranks of the army, but this, I repeat, is a completely different topic for separate debates and discussions.

The Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-1940 even then required the use of such cartridges, which could certainly guarantee high shooting accuracy, because one shot could even decide the outcome of subsequent events. Thus, twenty-millimeter caliber cartridges gained special recognition during that period.

general information

The Finnish army was armed with Lathi M39 anti-tank rifles. With the help of such weapons, she also tried to exterminate Soviet snipers.

At that time, large-bore rifles were not so popular. But in the anti-terrorism movement the use of rifles, in particular, Anzio rifles, became simply necessary.

Mike Remo, head of the American concern Anzio Ironworks, has been trying for more than 16 years to reduce the recoil of fire and maximize the accuracy of shots with 50 BMG ammunition.

Government agencies and high-ranking officials sought to obtain such a rifle from Remo. So the price of a large-caliber American “gun” crossed the threshold of $5,000 per copy.

After the demand for this sample was very impressive, Mike was inspired by another idea: he decided that the concern had all the necessary conditions to create a weapon that would produce high-precision shooting even at a distance of two or three kilometers.

Currently, Anzio Ironworks produces heavy sniper rifles, the ammunition of which is the famous M61 20x102 mm. The minimum primary firing speed from such guns is more than 1.03 kilometers per second! It is worth reading the material about and.

If you are interested in the answer to the question: “Which sniper rifle has the longest shot?”, then the Sam Yang Dragon Claw .50 is currently considered the best large-caliber sniper rifle (.50 caliber) in its role with pre-pumping made in Asia.

Shots from the presented weapon are fired single-shot, and its design allows the use of almost all types of ammunition.

External features

Only the finest walnut wood was used for the fore-end and butt of the long-range sniper rifle. The dimensions of the stock are quite impressive, so using the Dragon Claw will be more convenient for an adult.

As for the forend, it has a narrow oblong shape with a rectangular profile, which is decorated with decorative laser notches on the sides. A pressure gauge is installed at the bottom of the forend, which shows the pressure in the air tank.

The rifle barrel is made of polished blue-black metal. And the receiver is made of the same metal, but with designer engraving. When viewed in profile, the Dragon Claw looks a little more like a high-end shotgun than a sniper rifle.

Technical and design features

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of Dragon Claw include:

• original weapon design with Asian motifs;
• Almost any type of ammunition is suitable for shooting;
• impressive range;
• light weight.

Disadvantages of the product:

• It is prohibited to use one of the best Dragon Claw sniper rifles without a license, and is generally quite difficult to find;
• intended only for professional shooters;
• high cost - from 50,000 rubles.

As additional equipment for the model, you can choose a 36, ​​40 or 45 inch optical sight. And also equip the barrel with a silencer, which, of course, does not guarantee absolute silence when shooting, but will noticeably muffle the sounds of shots.

Ammunition models for the Anzio 20-50 Rifle offer several options:

• standard Anzio 20-50 caliber cartridges;
• cartridges with a caliber of 20 mm;
• 14.5 mm caliber cartridges.

Read about Lobaev's ultra-long-range rifle for 14s.

The presented sample of a single-shot sniper rifle from Anzio Ironworks makes it possible to eliminate an object on the horizon.

And, according to its developers, the range of shots reaches over 5,000 yards for 20 mm ammunition, which is equal to 4.5 km, and for 20-50 caliber cartridges the range does not exceed 3.2 km, which will still be further than the horizon, because if the person will stand at full height, the distance to the horizon will be no more than 4.7 km, but since the main combat operations are carried out lying down, in this position the distance to the horizon will be no more than 2-3 km.

Technical and design indicators

Watch the video of hunting crows with pneumatics.

Advantages and disadvantages

At the moment, the single-shot Anzio 20-50 Rifle is the best in its role:

1. Firstly, the effective firing range set by the creators is over 5,000 yards. This suggests that targets can be hit even beyond the horizon.
2. Secondly, despite such impressive design and technical characteristics of the Anzio sniper rifle, its cost is much lower than other weapons of this production: only $12,000.
3. Thirdly, the versatility of the cartridges. The shooter can choose for himself. What ammunition is currently suitable for the rifle.

No significant shortcomings of the model were identified:

• small magazine capacity - only 1 ammunition;
• a very large mass of weapons, which reaches 60 kg.

It is worth noting such weapons as the drill rifle and of course.

Conclusion

Do long-range rifle companies really need such weapons?

According to their developers, it is currently very difficult without large-caliber sniper rifles, because the forces that oppose the American army can suddenly acquire other models of large-caliber rifles, and then the rifles of their production will make it possible to decide the outcome of the battle in their favor.

Anyway, It is simply necessary to have such “monsters” in service for victory on the battlefield. It is important to know law enforcement. It is also worth reading material about the famous, in, about ultra-precise, about, about “Cedar” and of course about.
