It’s good that they decided ... if only they started to make gunpowder no worse than Western ones, then it would be very good.

[jonht]

So, it seems that after the modernization of production with gunpowder, everything is fine too.
There shells for new guns began to shoot further, and new charges should go to modernized tanks. Not so much for cartridges of new gunpowder.

[Alexey-74]

Powerful thing. Such rifles perfectly knock out enemy manpower from a long distance. And pose a danger to lightly armored vehicles.

[Kuroneko]

Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation "announces closed auction"For the supply of sniper cartridges 7N34 caliber 12,7 millimeters, the application said.

The main thing is not to make another rollback for "friends".

Anti-Barmalei package of services. The service of sending to the Gurians is free.

[igorbrsv]

Not for free. But inexpensive. By 186r.

[My_log_in]

After all, the same decision was made, it seems to me, to stop publishing information on such competitions? What ...

Syria’s experience in anti-sniper fighting and the corresponding expansion of training in this area in the troops.

[Comrade Beria]

The mentioned 12,7 mm cartridge has a brass sleeve and a sniper bullet, whose weight is 145 g.

145 grams - the weight of the whole cartridge. The bullet weighs less - 59,2 g.

Even the ShVAK air gun 20 mm shell weighed 92 grams

[ANCIENT]

they decided to shoot the oligarchs with their families, not otherwise, or as I wanted golds, for duels ...

[igorbrsv]

186 rubles apiece.

[Thunderbolt]

sniper bullet, whose weight is 145 g.

What kind of super-bullet is this ...?)))

[Curious]

I wonder what is the point of such news? If the army has certain types of weapons, in particular small arms, then ammunition is purchased for them without fail. Or are there anyone for whom this is news?

[KVU-NSVD]

ammunition for specific weapons in considerable quantities for such weapons. Hence the interest in the topic.

[Curious]

If the troops have at least five hundred rifles for this ammunition, then this is 200 rounds of ammunition per barrel. But the sniper must constantly train, otherwise he is no longer a sniper, but a "man with a gun", only a large one. And 200 rounds of ammunition should be fired once a day, excluding weekends and holidays.

But not a fact. Could as part of cost optimization and military budget savings, decide that since the KK snipers are made under the 12,7 x 108 cartridge, then they need to be fed with the gross cartridge from the tank ZPU.

However, the tender of our Moscow Region for the purchase of sniper exotics (in the sense of exotics for our aircraft) - all kinds of Lapua and CheyTac would be more interesting. It would be very interesting to know who would win such a tender.

Nothing confused with commas? Cool 145 grams even for 12,7 mm
Come like Abrams from unenriched uranium?

[Wedmak]

this cartridge is used in Russian rifles OSV-96 and ASVK.

Surround Idlib with snipers with these toys and let them sit, they shoot the women for days and nights.

[Waldemar]

Auction? What the? Conduct a contest or tender. Auction is a price increase. Mockery?

Do not read the law - post a post!

We open 44-ФЗ. Chapter 3, paragraph 1, Article 24:

In November, NATO's largest trident exercises begin .. By the time they begin, the patrons will certainly arrive ..

[APASUS]

The author somehow did not very clearly describe the cartridge, or rather, many had the impression that the weight of the bullet is 145 grams. But this is the whole cartridge. Here is the data on the cartridge for OSV-96:

Features:
Cartridge weight, g: 124-134 (147 for snipers)
Cartridge Length, mm: 147,5
Real bullet caliber, mm: 13,01
Bullet weight, g: 48,3 (B-32); 55,3 (BS-41); 59,2 (sniper).

Does a bullet weigh lope?

[Andrey Vitalyevich]

it looks like a 500 long barrel, and the steel on the barrels is under sanctions .... aye ... and is designed for police snarping ...

[Andrey Vitalyevich]

I beg your pardon-sniping .... for the "long-barreled" 1400 exhaustion, defeat up to 250

[Zomanus]

Ammunition is either very small or small, but no longer carry away.))
The quality of our cartridges is lame, unfortunately.

[Mountain shooter]

Something the author confuses. The usual weight of a bullet cartridge 12.7x108 is in the region of 50 gr. 145 gr is probably a bit much!

[Elephant]

It would be nice to develop telescopic ammunition - http://army-news.ru/2017/12/te-zhe-patrony-tolko-v-profil/
