You mean like the M109 25mm AMPR? Or are you referring to something like the Type 97?

Maybe he's talking about the Croatian RT-20... fires 20x110mm Hispano rounds designed for anti-aircraft cannon. The recoil is so intense that some of the propellant gas is diverted backwards through a rocket-like nozzle on top to counter the recoil. It can blow your rucksack off if you fire it prone.

Get yourself the Truvello 20mm sniper rifle best in the world bolt action up to 2000m acu. can kill up to 4500m with a good scope and spotter you can kill a terrorist in and behind any object.
Also the 14.5 mm Truvello is a good gun made by a South African company, India bought the 50 Truvello sniper rifle and they get consecutive head shots at 2000m

I can't imagine consecutive headshots with a 14.5mm being possible, unless you're talking about more than one head.

1st Ghost Recon M10.5arSoc... They have, after training, let us use the Barrett 10.5MM. My snipers can hit anything over 1500m, and don't hesatate to burn out to 2000m for a body shot. I see in the manual it says .416...

Although I have never fired a Truvello 20mm sniper rifle (nor do I want to), I have however, tested their rifle barrels.
I fitted a 30-06 barrel (rifled and profiled to my specs) to a K98 Mauser action, the accuracy was excellent, sub MOA.

How much ammo can you carry for a 20mm? Huge round.
Also as far as stopping a person trust me a 50 cal would do just fine. Come to think about it so would a 7.62 or .338 Lapua.
All of these hand cannons are made to pierce soft vehicles and destory equipment. They are hardly for usuall sniping.

Wow, just wow..
Not many left in the world that still operates.
I have had the pleassure of being able to hold one of the few that´s still around.
Nice weapon, nothing I would want to carry around though.
Heavy SOB.
The classic in me wants a Finnish Lahti L-39 20mm anti-tank rifle.
As for what the OP means screw the .50 BMG.... I have no clue....

Did you notice that in the lower photo, the loader appears to have the magazine held backwards?

Je suis aware
Maybe it's the angle of the shot?
Or another "woops, the book's upside down" moment.

I don't think so, I can clearly discern each of the loaders individual fingers, even something as small as the buckle on the gunner's helmet strap.
The much larger magazine is quite clear, and the rear of the mag is clearly a lot shorter than the front.
However, it is of little consequence, just my observation.

Not so sure 5,56.
A few of my grandfathers buddies are still around.
However you twist and turn it, these men knew enough about weaponry to stop the red army dead in it´s tracks.
I reckon they´d hardly reload their weapons with the magazines backwards.
If this is a Rambo photo for the media, so be it.
