Meet the REAL LIFE version of the HALO sniper rifle.
20mm's worth of anger management.
Yes, the rifle is that long. Imagine the Master Chief running around with that thing in one hand. lol.
"wow..that's the biggest sniper I've ever seen.I believe it is the largest in the world.
"
South Africa: Bringin' the noise. Bringin' the funk.
Wow it's dead on for the Halo rifle, guessing thats what they based it on but it seems they practically just stole the design.
"Wtf!? What are you suppost to kill with that? a freaking tyranasorious rex!?tanks. it's an anti-material rifle.
"
if you were to ever shot a man with that...sweet jesus.
"Wtf!? What are you suppost to kill with that? a freaking tyranasorious rex!?It's Anti-Materiel not Anti-people (Although it's probably good at that too). lol
"
So Halo takes place 500 years in the future, but we managed to create a Sniper Rifle identical to the one in the game in modern times. Do humans randomly not do anything for 500 years or something?
"Solid_SnakeXx said:I wonder how many people a single round would go through, should you line like, 100 people up in a straight line."Wtf!? What are you suppost to kill with that? a freaking tyranasorious rex!?It's Anti-Materiel not Anti-people (Although it's probably good at that too). lol

also:
20mm vs. a 50 cal round.
re-damn-diculous.

we don't work anymore because we have machines that do all the real work.
"Barret M107 .50 Caliber just wanted to drop by. "If you get hit by this, you'll be down." NO SHIT.and again...when you put the rounds next to each other...

you're forced to shit bricks.

20mm can't be that accurate though.
The bullet drop must be ridiculous.
Well than again it's meant for hitting tanks not people. lol
"20mm can't be that accurate though.as long as they account for the bullet drop, I'm sure its fine. It's designed to be shot from extremely long distances and apparently has enough penetrating power to do hellatious damage to extremely thick, reinforced targets.

If I can find the bullet speeds, I'll post them.
Edit: found it - 'A 20-mm shell moves about 500 m/sec (about 1,600 ft/sec). This translates to 1,800 km/hour (1,100 miles/hour).'

I just imagine it'd be a tough thing to compensate for with all the ranges and the fact that it is so slow and heavy.

For one it's not used by any country besides India and South Africa gotta be a reason. lol
It weights over 60 pounds. And .50 caliber does just about the same job, more efficiently and accurately.
But to own one would be so badass. :D
I still don't trust the bullet drop and ranges thing. All the shots in video were taken from up high.
If he was a little more level with the target that bullet might've just struck ground.
"In 20-mm format the rifle fires the 20x83.5 MG151 cartridge fired by the Vektor 20-mm GA1 cannon; the round is manufactured by Pretoria Metal Pressings (PMP). Ammunition natures fired by the NTW-20 include HEI, HEI-T, SAPHEI and Practice. Muzzle velocity is 720 m/sec and the operational range is given as up to 1,500 meters. In 14.5-mm form the cartridge fired is the Russian 14.5x114 in API and API-T form; muzzle velocity is 1,800 m/sec and a maximum effective range up to 2,300 meters.

Changing from one caliber to another takes less than 60 seconds. The barrel, bolt, magazine and sighting equipment can be interchanged between the two calibers as required."
jesus.
oh and another comparison pic
I can'd find any good 14.5mm pics. but they're a little smaller than the 20mm and thus, faster.
"DreamsVisions said:I hear you. And I assume it's only used by some countries because of how military-industrial politics work. Not all the best weapons get picked up just because they're "the best".

Anyway, this provides a cannon in sniper format. I wouldn't want to see one in combat.
"I don't know that much about guns, but it looks like the 14.5mm looks more powerful, from those specs. I could be wrong, though.you wouldn't want to see either. that's for damn sure. lol

Didn't mean to derail anything, nice find this gun is totally badass.
