I like the plan, and it looks good, but I just feel that dual wielding them may not work.
I think this is how you get Americans back interested in helping Ukraine. Girl with ridiculously big guns.
I'm an American guy and horny for guns. The woman is just a nice addition.
Are those massive silencers on the end or something else?
Never seen a rifle that large before.
Flash suppressors. Snipers are very high-value targets.
They are suppressors (a.k.a. silencers). They work just like your car's muffler and both were invented by the same guy: the grandson of the inventor of the Maxim machine gun.
It will certainly not make these monster guns movie-quiet but it reduces their massive sound and flash signature making it harder to locate where they were shot from.

Well that's a cool TIL.
Flash hiders maybe? Idk
Certainly looks that way. As if it wasn't big enough already. In most pictures I have seen they have only muzzle brakes, but in some they clearly have suppressors. A useful side-effect may be to reduce the visible muzzle fire for night operation.
It's a Supressor
weight — 6.9 kg
That's quite a suppressor.
Compare to an M4 carbine, the current US issue rifle (not a suppressor on an M4, but the whole weapon):

6.43 lb (2.92 kg) empty[4]
7.75 lb (3.52 kg) with 30 rounds and sling
Nah bruh she a tank girl
She must love taking them out (idk enough about guns to know if this would actually work on tanks)
Those things conveniently double as a flag pole at a rural Ford dealership.
For when you need to kill a whole company standing in a line
That thing looks like it can cause some serious damage, even to things that are relatively well hardened.
Like, what would happen if a sniper fired that gun into the barrel of a T-80 that had an HE shell loaded?
Don't have to hit the barrels they usually aim for weak spots hoping for penetration then the round bounces around inside taking everyone out.
It would be hard to get the angle just right to get the bullet all the way down the barrel without it impacting the sides of the barrel
Bullets are deflected along surprisingly sharp bends in a barrel (or any other pipe), so it would be sufficient to hit the tank gun muzzle roughly from the front, and it would probably hit a loaded projectile.
Technically, it would be sufficient of they lodge a bullet into the barrel. As soon as the tank fires, the bullet will wedge between the shell and the barrel, destroying - at least - the barrel.
Kaboom, I believe.
That thing might be able to kill someone just by the bullet passing by them.
No.
Bitches love cannons
I like finding all these tfs-references
I want one.
Alucard in the background police girl!
"Bitches love cannons!"
Those would be overkill if you went blue whale hunting. Yikes haha
I always wanted to shoot the Halo sniper rifle
They aren't looking to shoot at soldiers with these things, they are for taking out vehicles and equipment.
Anti-materiel is it's primary purpose. For that 14.5mm beats the .338. The pictured weapons are for penetrating engine blocks that are stationary or moving with simple motion, within a greater effective range, not body armour (but will all the same). Long range extreme precision is secondary but is still a feature of 50cal and 14.5mm (top 3 records sniper kills are with a 50cal/14.5mm: #3 is actually with one of those type rifles).
I understood some of those words
Maybe it's just easily accessible ammo.
Yeah, other calibers are available, but this might be the most abundant around.
You forget it's not a precision rifle, and it's not meant to be used against Infantry directly. It's accuracy isnt meant to be measured in minute of angle but instead minute of APC
thats some anime type shit here. What happens when you fire that thing? are you gonna be flung back loneytoons style?
No just their enemies ala Bye Miss Laura
SnipeX Alligator anti-materiel rifle
It's to kill alligators, right? Right?
Cobra assault cannon...state of the art bang-bang!
I think the proper term for these are anti-materiel rifle. Made for stopping vehicles.
...it says that in the title
The title was edited between my post & yours I guess.
