under silent cartridges of 12,7 mm caliber.

How is that? Enlighten your colleagues!

[Simak]

With a piston inside the sleeve.

Even with 12,7 mm subsonic cartridges, an awesome silencer is needed.
I just don’t understand HOW you can pay off the sound from 12,7 with such a barrel.
Here is an example of an "Exhaust" sniper silencer for such a caliber and a subsonic cartridge

About silent cartridges (with a piston that cuts off the gases inside the sleeve) of small caliber has long been known. But about 12,7 - I hear for the first time.

As a rule, silent cartridges are used at close distances. Almost point blank ...
Perhaps the caliber is 12,7, just the ability to move the shooter away from the target ... Meters, so 100?

You do not need to invent a “special” rifle for this. Any suitable caliber will do.
And the whole point of a large caliber is to increase range and breakdown power. At short distances, a large caliber - only carry excess weight.

I think a distance of 100-150 meters at night is very good for DRG ...
Provided that the sentries, as a rule in bronik ...

We talked about noiseless cartridges

[Shurik70]

7,62 with a silencer 100-150 meters cooler than the "silent" 12,7

[Sergey ippon]

that’s what you write? Do you understand it yourself?
800m / s! I understand the MPS will play a little more, but the PBS on the rifle cartridge does not work.
never fired?

[Shurik70]

We are talking about the "subsonic" and "silent" cartridges.
It is clear that no silencer will hide a supersonic sound ...
That is, I wanted to say, almost no ...

[Sergey ippon]

7.62 there is only 39 subsonic, but not 54.
At 39 this is an intermediate cartridge, yes there are special ones, of a reduced charge (he shot himself, there you even catch a sight on another one with pbes 1)
but is it about sniper speech?

[Sergey ippon]

it is a different cartridge, it is subsonic and the cartridge case is different.

[Real russian]

Shot from this - a good thing! Better than any state.

[RL]

Which one is it from? From the MTs-116M or from the “Exhaust”?
And you shot from "any Shtatovskih"?
Well, special, straight !!!

[Sergey ippon]

good? what specifications are army, police?
didn’t you try to haul it for about 3 kilometers from the back?

[Grandfather Makar]

Snipers need to prepare and the appropriate weapons ..! We will avoid a lot of blood in different situations in the future ..
Yakutov especially needs to be trained and given them these weapons to test sables and squirrels in the "eye" .. Then it will be easier!

[Sergey ippon]

give snipers to the country, then God a hundred people typed, and it is unlikely.
the sights themselves do not have, with mildes, moa mo cheto does not want to work.
all snipers (namely snipers — don’t eat what they gave) for their rangefinders they buy rangefinders, sights are abnormal.

- At our factory there was a Yakut - a former hunter. So, he said that in fact the squirrel was beaten "in the wrong eye." Otherwise, the skin on the head deteriorates. The squirrel is scared, and as soon as it starts to run away with its tail up, they put a bullet under the tail!

[JD1979]

Why, looking at the appearance of a rifle with a wooden butt, an incomprehensibly shaped handle, does it feel from its forms that in its manufacture 2 tools were used - an ax and a sledgehammer?

[Shooting]

The stock was copied from sports weapons, and the rifle itself at one time seemed to be developed for sports.

[Nelepost]

In general, the topic has not been disclosed a lot of ambiguities with this "news"

“New modifications of the MTs-116M sniper rifle will be presented at Army 2018. Well, imagine. Maybe someone will buy it. If not for expensive. All denyuzhka.)
