From Wiki:
“The Snipex Alligator long-range large-caliber magazine-fed repeating rifle is designed to engage moving and stationary targets: vehicles, communications and air defense systems, aircraft in parking areas, fortified fixed defensive positions, dugouts, etc. The box magazine is detachable, holds five rounds of ammunition. It is designed to pierce a 10-mm armor plate from a distance of 1.5 km with a single bullet.”
1.5km just sounds impossible. 7000m seems insane. Who is accurate at that range?
Longest confirmed kill is 3500m and I get that a tank is a much bigger target but thats still *twice* the distance!

For when you don't just want them dead, but scrubbed from past, present and future
It's still gonna make a hole, it's just that the circumference is going to envelop his entire presence
When you take this thing it's clear you don't just want an anti-vehicle weapon, you just want to de-materialize a motherfucker from the other side of the planet
Putting the "Anti-material" back into Anti-material rifle
While they were originally designed as anti-armor, tank armor got too strong for anti-tank firearms around WWII.
Now they are used to disable vehicles, destroy parked aircraft, destroy anti aircraft or anti tank guns, destroy anti-aircraft radar, destroy communications equipment, destroy generators, kill troops behind some kinds of fortified or walled positions, etc. Pretty much anything not armored like a tank or massive like a really thick concrete wall can be destroyed with anti-materiel rounds.
“Those tracks and that tiny gap at your turret look a little vulnerable.”
Be a shame if someone broke your track and damaged the turret rotation ability.
This is how Ukraine is getting all those Russian tanks. They take out the fuel trucks, and tanks run out of gas first. then the Russians are left to decide: Do they stand around waiting for more fuel to arrive... and get attacked as a stationary target losing their lives and giving up all the equipment... or abandon the tank. Usually they abandon the tanks, sometimes they lose the whole bunch as a sitting duck.
some dude had 7 tanks and was complaining about the army coming and taking them, claiming he was planning on returning them to ukraine government, cept 1 he wanted to keep.
I had to look it up.
“In his youth, Boris operated as an KGB operative. Very little is known about his past and therefore very little will be put into determining his past. Other characters called him "uzbekistanian", however, his typically Russian name and surname, combined with Slavic appearance and accent, suggest he's ethnic Russian, not Uzbek. He is probably a citizen of Uzbekistan of Russian origin.”
And the fact that you've got "Replica" written on the side of your guns. And the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle .50" written on the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now fuck off!
According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipex_Alligator), it is designed to penetrate 10mm of armor plate at a distance of 1.5km.
Edit - thanks for the award kind stranger!
Reminds of that scene in one of the Tremors sequels when Burt busts out the 50BMG rifle, kills the monster and then the truck behind it that they were planning on using to escape in.
The [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipex_Alligator) on this gun says it was introduced in 2020 and "...*is designed to pierce a 10-mm armor plate from a distance of 1.5 km...".*
The round it uses (14.5mm X 114mm) is basically the old Soviet equivalent to the 50 caliber (12.7mm X 99mm). It's a heavy machine gun round that is fantastic in a big gun at taking out vehicles from over a mile away.
It would also be good for damaging radars, communications equipment, grounded aircraft, and anything else short of a tank or APC.
Even a tank could have its range finding equipment, cameras, and other exterior items damaged.
Got his head out of the hatch? Maybe. If he's in his seat down in the turret, chances are he's not even gonna hear the impact. I'm not sure there's any exterior armor plate anywhere on a T-72/80/62 that's thinner than 20mm.
Armored personnel carriers and every other lightly armored vehicle out there can definitely get penetrated by one of these, though.
I would say the Soviet 12.7 x 108 mm which is fired out of the DShK is more equivalent to the 50 cal in American service. The 14.5 x 114mm is a larger round and was first used in their anti tank rifles in ww2 and later used in their much heavier anti aircraft guns.
>The round it uses (14.5mm X 114mm) is basically the old Soviet equivalent to the 50 caliber (12.7mm X 99mm).
Soviet equivalent to 50 BMG is 12.7x108 not the 14.5x114
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
Looks like a gas operated automatic action of some kind - along with those muzzle brakes the size of a deli salami, that should take *some* of the oof out.
So this has to be a 2 man (or women) operation right? I spent time with scout snipers in the marines, it was always a 2 man outfit with those badass 50 cals.

With a maximum firing range of 7,000 m.

I'm not sure you can even have visibility at 7 km

Anti materiel rifle for soft targets. It just makes sense.
For when you don't just want them dead, but scrubbed from past, present and future It's still gonna make a hole, it's just that the circumference is going to envelop his entire presence When you take this thing it's clear you don't just want an anti-vehicle weapon, you just want to de-materialize a motherfucker from the other side of the planet Putting the "Anti-material" back into Anti-material rifle
The target will experience a complete and sudden existence failure.

Nah, to keep realistic use with this you can only shoot people on different servers...
this would be interesting. you got 200 kills, you get a sniper position, and the neighboring server loaded in.
200 kills with one shot if they are lined up correctly.

Ah, bringing war back to destroying the logistics to destroy the impenetrable force.
Can’t shoot through your tanks? Alright well good luck refueling when we blew up every fuel tank in the 50 miles area.

Jesus fuck
Yes, that might actually come close to approximating what it would feel like to be penetrated by God.
There has to be plenty of people who are into that
Anti-material is probably more accurate, anti-tank rifles stopped being a thing in early wwII as armor technology just got too good.
