Iran makes their own sniper rifle

[HoneyBadger]

That looks like a highly refined weapon! hahaha wtf? it seriously looks like a gun barrel with a buttpad, with some sort of trigger mechanism and pistol grip stuck on the bottom and a scope on top. Weighs 40 lbs? Seems practical. Effective range 4km? Seems unlikely. 3 man crew? Seems like a practical joke. Also, it looks like a single-shot gun.


How much scope do you need to hit a man sized target at 4km?

Three operators, weighs 22 kg (48.8 lbs). Not exactly HSLD gear.

[Skully]

I thought the 3 operators were talking about the tactical vehicle?

Hey dont knock these guys, this could be the next AK47...................

How about the 14.5mm projectile? Larger than a .50 cal. Has this cartridge configuration been around for long? Must kick like a mule to move such a heavy bullet that far down range.

3 man crew on top of each other to tame the 14.5 mm beast

The Russians used it in anti-tank rifles before WW II. After WW II they developed heavy machine guns that use it.

THERE's a mental picture I didn't need!!

THERE's a mental picture I didn't need!!

It's to funny
guy on the bottom "I'm ready" while he's holding the butt stock
guy in the middle "a lil higher to the right" at the guy bellow him while looking through the scope
the guy on top waiting for the guy in the middle to order "FIRE!" as he's in charge of pulling the trigger...


ah sh*t I just don't know how they'd use 3 guys on a rifle

[MrPrena]

I thought Steyr was selling them bunch of HS50 sniper rifles to Iran around 2006.

The comments are part of the iranian defense strategy.. they're going to scare the US/UK Zionist machine into thinking that the entire ME is standing behind Iran waiting for them to defeat the Zionist...

Is that like their stealth boat/plane from a few years back.. /facepalm.

More and More posturing and chest puffery.. Israel needs to nuke them already.
