It fires the Hispano 20 x 110mm round which is a 130gram (2000 grains) at a muzzle velocity of 850 metres a second. If anyone has any pictures of the effects of this rifle when an AP load has been used against infantry I would be interested to see just how much devastation it can cause . If anyone knows of a gun(personal firearm) which is 'stronger'(has superior penetration) then I apologise for my mistake.

The XM109 25mm Payload Rifle firing the 25mm "Cargo Round", I don't know he exact specs but it is stated by six different sites that the XM109 is the marker line between sniper rifle and cannon.
