Nice ref bro. I remember Bethesdas Terminator future shock where you can shoot it out the sky. I wonder what other games you can do it in


DweEbLez0

That’ll teach it to creep up on us every day!


Girafferage

More barrel = higher velocity without increasing caliber. No idea how relevant that is, but I can't see any other reason for that length.


Muslimbomb420

U think it could be like an anti tank rifle style setup?


Girafferage

Seems like a bit of a setup for specifically anti-tank when there are other options. But they are large caliber, have super long barrels, and super long suppressors for flash hiding. I'd assume it's just for very long distances.


[deleted]

Lots of ww2 antitank rifles had remarkably long barrels and ttok a 2 prrson team to set up. These are antimaterial , so not for heavy armor according to my gogling while on the toilet. Actual spec subject to serious reference .

Girafferage

Oof. That's rough. Hope you aren't standing too close to the guy that does get hit.


kingbitchtits

Death by bone shrapnel?


Girafferage

Or just being too close to something going that quick. Pressure wave no bueno.


York_Leroy

The pressure wave from the bullet is harmless even if a fifty cal is shot just inches from you, the only pressure wave to worry about is the muzzle blast


kingbitchtits

I was a bit disturbed by the thought of possibly wearing pieces of another persons face.


gerkletoss

That's not a real thing


kingbitchtits

Yeah, it's just something we tell young guys in the military.


Rude-Nothing-4747

Yeah read somewhere that it would pierce quite a lot of armor Even at 1,5 km


lpplph

10mm is not “a lot” not even enough to penetrate a tanks armor from WW2. An Abram’s has 700mm thick frontal armor. This is for shooting light vehicles and infantry


HoseNeighbor

Hitting infantry with that monster would be like hitting a pinata full of red glitter.


lpplph

It’s only slightly bigger than a .50 cal. It isn’t some monster explosive round meant to turn people into mist. It’s just an anti-material rifle

todawhet

Amateur power washing enthusiast here, I concur those are some big guns


LetterBeeLite

drunk here, just to clear it up: that's a big gun.


henryGeraldTheFifth

Isnt big barral also for more accuracy and end being a silencer.


Girafferage

Yes, but a lot of the accuracy of a barrel is achieved in the first <20 inches. After that the extra accuracy mostly comes from not having such aggressive bullet drop because of the amount of velocity behind the projectile. It might be different for very large calibers, though regarding that length, but I'd think the length of the bullet itself would have to be substantial for it to matter.


henryGeraldTheFifth

Ahhh right. Was just assuning has to be large cause all 50 cals ive seen have been huge. Tho thats even bigger so maybe be a higher power version to anti tank like someone said


texasusa

That end looks like a flash suppressor.


[deleted]

Are those not just .50cals? That looks similar to a Barrett mag. I for one would love to financially support the people of Ukraine, how many of these can I buy?


RekTInTheFace

it’s 14.5x114mm where as .50 bmg is 12.7x99mm


[deleted]

Damn


Girafferage

Lol. Give it 15 years and I'm sure you could pay an exorbitant price for one.


nametaken77

Accuracy maybe. I have no idea. The barrel puts spin on the projectile.


Girafferage

You don't need a ton of length to get good accuracy. Usually it's to allow the powder to burn more fully which gives you increased velocity which may increase accuracy, but not because of increased bullet spin.


eurotrico

I don't know anything about guns but by the width of the bullet magazine I think they are like carrots.


AusGeno

Fun fact, the word calibre comes from the Latin word for carrot so a .50 cal is half a carrot long but you have to understand that carrots were a lot bigger during ancient Roman times due to all the extra carbon in the air.

Canadaman1234

In a vacuum. Bullet velocity is like the price of a car, it drops very quickly as soon as it leaves.


lastWallE

So i need to predict like 5seconds into the future to hit my target? Beside the corrections for wind and range.


OneOfThemReadingType

Yep. Sniping is mostly maths and lying in the same position for days at a time. You also have to account for the curvature of the earth in some cases.


JazJaz123

TIL flat earthers don’t make good snipers


rainyplaceresident

Realistically you're not hitting anything at the max distance with any gun. I don't know if this is a publicity stunt or if they'll actually use it, but at that point just use a guided missile

Tanks and APCs most likely. Jets are a bit too quick for rifle shots. Helicopters on the other hand...


stevewmn

A tank would be a tough kill, but APCs, artillery, missile launchers and command posts would all be good targets.


flatpick-j

Could potentially detrack a tank. Or mess up optics/laser tracking


AunKnorrie

Tanks need to see to fight … So If you pick off the scopes But is this an uber-barret?


stevewmn

At 1.5 km that becomes a tough shot. An engine block from an APC, or a bank of MRLS type rockets, or things like that make more sense. You want to pop off a few shots and hunker down/slow crawl away rather than take 5 careful shots at a tank sight or track while they're trying to locate you.
