30-6 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 We'll, I've seen videos of smaller calibres than that hit a man flying. Call me a woos if you like but I wouldn't want to fire it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark360 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I wonder what’s left of the Russian it hits if anything 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 At 4 miles your target would have to be standing very still for a long time, what do you think 20 - 25 secs? If it's 4 mile why a silencer. An RSM maybe able to shout someone down at 4 mile, even see a dirty uniform but could he hear the shot or direction it came from.

RyanMc Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 They're anti tank/vehicle rifles. Don't think it would be as bad as you think given the weight and firing position, wouldn't be no 22lr though...

redial Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) I think they are used to destroy vehicles, standing aircraft etc. Has a huge muzzle brake which should help with teeth rattling.

Poor Shot Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Having fired a .50 cal from a Barret rifle with a huge muzzle break on it I can say that they aren't that bad to shoot. Certainly not as bad as say a 36g lead load from a light weight SXS and probably comparable to a heavy steel load from a semi auto. Wasn't all that pleasant for those standing either side of me though due to the muzzle break directing the gasses backwards. Would certainly rattle your cage if you were sat alongside and weren't expecting it. The round from that rifle looks big but the rifle itself probably weighs the best part of 20kg so wouldn't be too bad to shoot. Given the anti vehicle nature of the rifle though I'm not sure I'd want to be sat behind it when the vehicles you're shooting at locate you and start firing back at you.
