If that caliber is correct, then Britain has a competitor for the XM109, not the M82.(The M82 has already been overshadowed by the M95 and M99)

That rifle is a heavy Anti-Material rifle, almost as high as the Apache's 30mm Anti-material gun.

Shattered OUT...

Shattered, it's only .50BMG, what's the big deal?

OSV-96 seems to be more potent since it uses the Russian 12.7x108 but only has a limited 5 round mag and it's a bit bigger...

Anybody hear about the Russian KSVK anti-material sniper rifle? I've only seen it on guns.ru and don't know crap about it and desperatley need pics of it.

Back on topic, looks like a nice rifle. I like anti-material rifles, if I had to pick a weapon I would get the trusty 2 rnd burst assault rifle. But the anti-material rifle looks nice.

The XM109 uses 25mm rounds 2.5 times more effective and almost twice as big.

Russian, how could you miss this site? it's legendary!

Anyway you can find the pic Here.

By the way, the 25mm round is exactly 1 caliber so about half of that is 0.50 caliber, so it is about exactly twice as big in diameter.
