"Ukrainian sniper shoots Russian from '1.68 miles away' – the second-longest kill ever"

Do you believe this claimed shot?

  • Call me skeptical

  • Doubtful

I’m not seeing a 760 grain AP offering from Baltic Bullets listed on their site. It’s all in the 650 range.

Chrome moly or stainless?
What was the O.D./contour of the barrels?

LOL thats a helluva rifle man.. might as well mount that SOB on a turret.

Have to imagine some 20mm autocannon surplus powder would be better than any commercial .50 BMG powder, no?

@Frank Green did you ever mess around with flash tubes for these monstrous rounds? From what Ive read when you start getting to these 300+ gr capacity cases, a flash tube can really boost velocity in a huge way. IIRC the .50 Fat Mac(necked down shortened 20mm Vulcan case) used a flash tube and they were getting some nutty velocity from it.. LOL that 12.7x114 vs .50 BMG pic is wild, like a .308 vs .300 RUM. Have to imagine 750gr @ 3100 really aint even coming close to what the potential of this round could do with a truly optimized powder..
SS barrels.

We just made straight blanks…over 2” diameter…they did all the finish turn work etc…

Again I used 20n29 powder.

Never messed with flash tubes.

The velocity being listed by HL is over 3200. So it’s more than what I ran it at. My gun was 60+ years old when I did it and no reason to run it hard. Also the original caliber on mine was the 20x138B and if I remember correctly it ran just under 50k cup. I had no load and pressure data when I did mine. Nothing like it was around. So better safer than sorry.

I also had some 1000gr bullets made. Still have some. Barnes made mine along with the 750 and 800gr solids.

If I recall correctly the 60US loaded 1000gr bullets. That’s a slightly bigger round than the 12.7x114.

I shot a Lahti 20mm once, not really up for a second go....if ya know what I mean.

So Frank, those were what ? a 9lb rifle with ammo ? :)
Or did I mean a 75lb barrel only ?
 
As you can imagine the problem with such wildcats is you have to work with milsurp 14.5x114 components, can only imagine ES and SD numbers on those primers ,and shot to shot vertical dispersion half a tennis field worth at such distances , before any wind variables


500$ buys you a 5000m guided projectile . 3000m ELR rifles are nonsense in every aspect,waste of effort and resources

I’ll tell you a secret: the shooter fired at 2 nearby enemies, but he hit a separate one, 3 meters from the aiming point.
So technically this is a miss
This sounds like the clown from a few years ago. The one that was claiming to make hits on a two mile target on the side of a mountain.

Have to agree. A .375 Cheytac(or a .50 BMG) rifle is about the upper limit of practicality IMO... anything more specialized than that is a bit of a waste.

Theres gotta be a good reason SOCOM went with .308/.300/.338 on the ASR. Would've liked to see them go with the AI or Sako M10 in all honesty, but I reckon they wanted to keep it domestic production.
 
This is hardly just a minor episode of the war.

Imagine fighting to ensure your country can have gay pride parades and unlimited 3rd world immigrants.

Your supplies and funding are getting cut off, your support abroad is dwindling at the cyclic rate. You're yesterday's hero. Nobody cares about your fight anymore.

Lol. Lmao. You lost. All of that for nothing.

If the support of the West stops, this does not mean that Ukraine will stop fighting for its independence.
Yes, the nature of the fighting will change. There will be partisan movements and sabotage activities.
Ukrainians will destroy Russians by all available means.

I'll tell you this. In my unit there were many different rifles in different calibers.
There are AIAX and MK 22 and Sako M10.
I will say this, in terms of reliability and simplicity, the MK 22 wins.
The design of the rifle is simple and reliable as an anvil.
all mechanisms are protected from dirt, unlike AIAX.
And the highlight is that the MK22 can be completely disassembled, put into a small backpack, and scouts can pass through the drones with gunfire and they won’t see you as a sniper)))

Interesting. Idk.. just based on reputation alone, I would've thought a Sako or AI would absolutely be a better choice than Barrett. But I'll defer to hands on experience considering I have none..

Have you seen any Cadex? What scopes are yall using?

Regarding the Kadex. Also a good accuracy rifle. But again the classic design.
It works flawlessly at the training grounds, but when you get into a trench with mud, everything stops working. The shutters don’t cock, which is sad.
We use nightforces for daytime sights. At night, only thermal imaging Archer TSA-7

Why? You're better off as a Russian satellite state than an American and Israeli one. You'll be able to retain an ethnically homogeneous nation as opposed to something that looks like London or NYC.

Blows my mind you guys haven't figured this out and had a coup yet.

Regarding FPV drones, there are already means: radio analyzers and radio jammers. The effectiveness of drones is already decreasing

From your rhetoric I understood that you are either a Nazi or from Russia

I do expect Ukraine will come to regret befriending US/NATO for all the reasons stated. They will see huge 3rd world immigration, LGBT gay rights nonsense, derision of Christianity, etc..

This is not an attack on you @UA SOF SNIPE .. but NATO/UN/etc will tear your country apart and leave it unrecognizable if you let it. You saw the tranny spokesperson they gave you.

This is your opinion, mine is different.
LGBT gays and so on are all bullshit. Scientists have proven that people are already born gay. This is not a person’s choice, it’s Mother Nature who deprived him.
 
Do you use those in .50 BMG or that necked down 14.5?
I saw this anti-tank rifle))) I realized that it was crap for the main reason - it was weight. It is not needed in combat work at all.
Now they will inflate this record, shooters will be interested in this caliber but nothing more.
My opinion is that at such distances you need to fire an anti-tank missile.
And I’m telling you 100% that this was done for advertising, buy this rifle and shoot. This is advertising and nothing more.
Moreover, I know for sure that the aiming point was 3 meters to the left)))

Fair points.

But do you load the MK211 into the necked down 14.5?
 
3800 meters is 4155 yards. 41.55 x 1.047 = 43.50 inches

3 meters is 118 inches

2.7 MOA from aiming point.

I wonder what sort of group size the rifle would shoot at that distance?
Technically, the shooting complex was damped at 0.25-0.3 MOA
At this shooting distance, mathematically, a target the size of a person can be hit with a bullet dispersion of 40 cm.
Well, of course, the initial velocity of the bullet had to be exactly with the calculated one.
 
Neither side are National Socialists, you'd have to be retarded to think so. The "Nazi" brigades in Ukraine are literally funded by Israeli billionaires.
 
The Nazi are literally Ukrainian you dumb fuck
Nazism combines the idea of the “Aryan master race”, its biological and cultural superiority over other races[22][23], which are viewed as “inferior”[23], racial anti-Semitism (“Semitic race” - Jews - are seen as the antipode and main enemy “Aryan”)[8][9], the conspiracy idea about “world Jewry” as the main enemy of the German nation[23][4], Slavophobia[24][25][26][27][28], the idea of “Aryan "(German national) socialism, anti-communism, anti-liberalism, anti-democracy[29][4]. The foundations of the ideology are set out in the books “My Struggle” (1925-1926) by Adolf Hitler, “The Myth of the Twentieth Century” (1930) by Alfred Rosenberg and others.
