Re: Iranian made 145 mm Shaher

Yeah, this is mostly old news. The HS50s Iran got from Steyr were actually the earlier rifle Heinrich Fortmeier designed that eventually lead to the HS50. In this case, they've more or less tried to scale up that design.

14.5mm Soviet has really impressive ballistics for ELR and HTI applications, but I don't think anyone's making match ammo for them

Re: Iranian made 145 mm Shaher

lol 145 mm, they meant 14,5 of course...
that rifle looks cheaply made in iran
almost like these do it yourself .50bmg single loaders
and yeah that is a nightforce....
they have straw buyers in the us, europe or who knows where else

and quite frankly for most any product i bet you can find a distributor who is willing to circumvent export restrictions for a premium profit...
 
Re: Iranian made 145 mm Shaher

We need someone to translate that video for us -
get some good laughs out of the "we can hit 6 inch targets at 2000 meters with these rifles, first time, every time" and "these bullets defeat the American M-1 MBT's Chobham armor" claims....
