This is coolbert:
Anti-material sniper rifle! Firing the Soviet era 14.5 mm. anti-tank machine gun round.
"The Shaher is not a lightweight weapon in any sense, and weighs in at a reported 22 kg (49 pounds), while it is an ungainly 1.85 meters (6.1 feet) long. Its anti-armor rounds can reportedly penetrate 50mm (two inches) of armor, and Iran also boasted that the rifle could be used to engage helicopters and other low-flying aircraft."
Surprisingly [?] so there is a slew of such big-bore [14.5 mm] anti-material sniper rifles on the market. See the listing thanks to the wiki. Anyone consider this to be odd?
Additionally with a comment from an acknowledged weapons expert:
"When your target is 2 miles [3.2 kilometers] away and important enough to drag a 50 pound [22kg.] gun from some undisclosed location, then take the time to set up with a very well trained specialist who has to compute wind direction, earth's rotation (true!), temperature, humidity, and exact range before taking a shot, maybe it is just time to call in an air strike."
I CONCUR 100 %.
