DXL-5: in Russia they create a sniper rifle with a range of up to 7 km

The most long-range rifle in the world may soon be created by Russian gunsmiths. Its preliminary name is DXL-5.

About this news agency RIA News said Vladislav Lobaev, CEO of Lobaev Arms, which is developing a new weapons.

Today, the world's largest firing range provides the "Twilight" rifle, created by the same company. She is able to confidently hit targets at a distance of 2,5 kilometers, and her record range is 4200 meters.

Vladislav Lobaev claims that so far there are no sniper rifles in the world with a target range of 6-7 kilometers.

The main secret of the new weapon will be the cartridge developed for him, in which unusual innovative technologies will be applied. While not disclosed information on the caliber and other characteristics of the ammunition. We only know about its large cartridge size and high initial bullet speed. It is thanks to this special ammunition that the rifle will be able to hit targets at such a great distance.

The developers plan to complete the creation of the DXL-5 by the beginning of next year.

An important question for discussion is how effective such a weapon is for moving targets, because while a bullet travels a distance of 6-7 km, the target can shift significantly depending on speed. Therefore, the sniper will have to take into account many additional nuances, not to mention the usual nuances.

This rifle will have too narrow specialization, if it can be called that.

It’s not a cartridge there anymore, but some kind of rocket projectile. And as for moving targets, it’s now sights with a ballistic calculator.

It seems that the main feature will be in the bullet, which will be equipped as a smart warhead with all the bells and whistles on the principle of "fire and forget." A specific product will always find its "buyer".

Well, purely in theory, the higher the speed and range, the longer the projectile should be elongated. It will be more like a needle than a bullet.
And yes, most likely the bullet is controlled. No matter how accurate the computing complex is, it will not calculate the inhomogeneity of the air. And from a "small" air hole at the beginning of the way to the finish line, the bullet will deflect by half a meter or more.

[SHURUM -BURUM]

At such a distance, he will not get anywhere. Due to the refraction of the beam in the vertical heat fluxes of the atmosphere, it will a priori aim past. The Americans know this and are working on a bullet capable of homing at the final stage of the flight. Yes, and for such a distance, it will no longer be a sight, but a telescope. This comrade-designer made me laugh.

Not only. Lobaev has a tacit competition with the Americans, who were leaders in this type of shooting.

This story began a few years ago when Russian shooter and manufacturer of high-precision long-range rifles Vlad Lobaev saw a video on YouTube where peppy old people from Texas from a rifle hit a target at a distance of 3600 yards (3292 m). Vlad decided to accept the challenge and compete with the Americans.

and who needs standards?
meaning?
1. Altitude 1,75 m (average person’s height) = Distance to the horizon 4,7 km
2. scattering loss coefficient for different rain intensities:

drizzling rain (0,6 mm / h) - ar = 0,15 km ^ -1;
average rain (1-2 mm / hour) - ar = 0,3-0,4 km ^ -1;
heavy rain (3-6 mm / hour) - ar = 0,5-0,8 km ^ -1.
In extreme cases, the rain intensity can reach 25-30 mm / hour, which creates a loss coefficient of ar 2,5 km ^ -1. The scattering loss coefficients for snow precipitation are close to the rain loss coefficients.
Thus, the atmospheric loss coefficient in the most adverse situations is determined mainly by the dispersion of haze and fog on aerosols. During heavy rain or snow, the possibilities of using a laser rangefinder are very limited, and assessments in these terms are pursuing a cognitive purpose rather than a practical one. In the case of high transparency of the atmosphere, the role of absorption increases, especially when operating at a wavelength of 10,6 μm, where the effect of scattering is less significant than at shorter waves.

Testing experience showed that a dark target against a light background (against a background of white snow), located at a distance of several kilometers, is visible as a barely visible spot that does not have clear contours, in conditions of haze or fog ...

Gerlich's bullet

Already at speeds of 1450-1470 m / s, a Gerlich rifle bullet weighing 6,5 g, an effective diameter of only 6,35 mm, with a lead core at a distance of 50 m, broke through (and not punched) in a steel armor sheet 12 mm thick with a diameter 15 mm, and in thick armor made a funnel of 15 mm in depth and 25 mm in diameter. The usual 7,92 mm Mauser combat rifle bullet left only a small 2-3 mm recess on such armor.

Salvo Squeezebore project

[Rusticolus]

All these calculations about the possible range of a shot at the "ground" standing on the surface are of course interesting, but only from a theoretical point of view. For they are completely broken about the realities of life. All record shots, and we are talking about them, are fired at a target located at a decent elevation, sometimes up to tens of meters. Or there is a hollow between the shooter and the target. The video posted just above at 3.46 clearly shows that the surface there is very far from horizontal. But with visibility - that's right, this is a real problem, but it is practically solved by choosing a suitable place and weather conditions with the best parameters. Well, the question is - who needs it and for what, all the more so for the price? Well, you are not surprised by cars with aircraft jet engines accelerating to supersonic speeds. They are definitely not collected for the purpose of going to the bakery for bread. Everything is banal and simple at the same time, and can be explained with just one word - Record.

[Yrec]

No specialization, the rifle is created for a single shot for these same 6-7 km. Much more interesting is the cartridge, because everything that the Lobaevites used to shoot before were American "chitaki". And then they "develop a cartridge." Well, let's see.

[Rusticolus]

In fact, not entirely true. Yes, these are all the same "chitaki" but made according to their specifications for a specific barrel. And yes, there is only one specialization of the entire complex - a record shot. At the expense of a patron of my own design, the same is interesting to me. But the wording, especially in the translation of the journalist, is too vague. Maybe its own caliber, which for sure will be because the bullets are made for a specific barrel and the concept of caliber is not particularly significant there in practice, there may be its own sleeve, maybe its own bullet. Rather, even all this is in place. For individual changes will be in any case. The question is how significant they will be, and whether they will have something radically different from the previous patrons.

A 4210 meter bullet flies 19 seconds, I am silent about the wind at different heights and ranges of the trajectory. To what ? Be noted in the Guinness Book of Records?

How many seconds does a bullet fly?

[Holgerton]

For modern "anti-tank" anti-material rifles, kinetic energy is important upon contact with a target, but here, excuse me, that in "Twilight" at 4 km, which is most likely in DXL-5 at 6-7 km, the bullet flies along a parabola, like an art ... projectile, it loses most of its energy already at half the distance and hits the target at the end, the question is, what will it pierce then? The maximum that it will be possible to pierce is a conventional BTR-70/80 and then with great luck, but based on the fact that this is a niche weapon that requires high-quality guidance devices and a ballistic computer, and for adjustments at a distance of 6-7 km already a small UAV will be needed, because a simple sight and binoculars will not be enough, since the range is "over the horizon" and there are very few open spaces, plus special "innovative" cartridges, plus the rifle itself will not come out cheap.
For that kind of money, it will be possible to buy an 82-mm mortar with a full ammunition and a quadrocopter or even a small UAV, which is many times more effective against armored vehicles than any rifles.

[Oleg Zorin]

82 mm at 7 km will not reach. Here Sanichka needs 120 mm, and then 7 km is at the limit

[Holgerton]

Here I agree, the standard 82 mm work for 4 km, but for 2C12 with BC, you need a more or less specialized transport such as MT-LB, GAZ-66, while the 82 mm can still be tried to move the forces of calculation, or transport on an army SUV, which is much easier.

From seven kilometers? At such a range, something armored can no longer be flashed; you need something unprotected, large, motionless and fragile enough to deteriorate with one or two shots. A rifle for shooting fuel trucks in the parking lot? )))

It seems to me, obviously, that such shooting has no special practical meaning. Just a demonstrator of advertising opportunities.

[Rusticolus]

And if in place of seven, well, let's say three? Do you know a lot of rifles that confidently hit targets with sufficient kinetics at such a distance? There is practical sense in this - development and testing of new technologies on a prototype. Moreover, there is a small private team, and not the whole institute of Moscow Region. Well, do not forget that this is one way or another, but still an advertisement for Russian weapons. You won’t tell me ... why are all kinds of Knights and Swifts with Golden Eagles burning fuel for nothing at air shows?

[Kalmar]

Quote: Rusticolus

And if in place of seven, well, let's say three?

I don’t say anything about three, although in a real combat situation no one even shot at three kilometers. And at shorter ranges (2500-2700 m), successful shots were largely due to luck.

Quote: Rusticolus

You read my comment inattentively. There is no sense in shooting at 7 km per se. But about the development of weapons that can crank up such a trick - yes, of course, there are. This is both technical research and marketing effect. My phrase about promotional opportunities demonstrator - She is without any negative connotation.

SVLK-14 "Twilight"
The work of weapons art by the hand of the creator of high-precision long-range rifles Vlad Lobaev does not just hit two kilometers on target: “Dusk” holds a world record for firing range - 4210 meters. Not only the fantastic range of targeted shooting distinguishes the Lobaev rifle. Accuracy of shooting is less than 0.2 MOA groups of 5 shots, and this is with the powerful 408 Cheytac cartridge (nominal caliber 10 mm). By the way, the closest competitor of "Dusk" to the American CheyTac M200 with the same cartridge declared accuracy of 1 MOA (considered a very good result of accuracy), which makes a huge difference at such distances.

The body of the SVLK-14 receiver is made of aviation aluminum with a threaded insert made of highly alloyed corrosion-resistant steel, and the KING V3.0 gate group is made of it. By the way, the shutter itself is single-shot - in "Twilight" everything is done to ensure maximum rigidity. The total length of the weapon is 1570 mm, of which 900 mm fall on the Lobaev Hummer Barrels match barrel.

A piece of work, compared to a commercially available rifle, aren't you funny yourself? .Lobaev, like an old shooter of bench rest, did what he had been doing all his life.

bullet needed with a nuclear warhead

So, they were created ...

It turns out that it was in our country back in the days of the USSR, when we achieved military parity (or even advantages) with the United States, that atomic bullets were created. And not only created, but also tested! It was about ammunition caliber 14,3 mm and 12,7 mm for heavy machine guns. However, it was possible to create a bullet of 7,62 mm caliber, but not only for a Kalashnikov assault rifle, but for his easel machine gun. This cartridge also became the smallest nuclear weapon in the world.
When the transuranic element California was discovered - more precisely, its isotope with an atomic weight of 252, it turned out that it had a critical mass of only 1,8 grams!

The ammunition itself is incredibly simple: a tiny part weighing 5-6 grams is made from California, in shape resembling a dumbbell of two hemispheres on a thin leg. A tiny charge of explosives inside the bullet crushes it into a neat ball, which for a 7.62-mm bullet has a diameter of 8 mm, while a supercritical state occurs and ... that's it - a nuclear explosion is guaranteed! To detonate the charge, a contact fuse was used, which was placed inside the bullet - that's the whole "gun bomb"! As a result, the bullet, however, turned out to be much heavier than the usual one, therefore, in order to maintain the usual ballistic characteristics, a charge of gunpowder of increased power had to be placed in the case.

However, the main problem that ultimately decided the fate of this unique munition is the heat generation caused by the continuous decay of California.
Therefore, the storage of such bullets required a special refrigerator, which had the appearance of a copper plate about 15 cm thick with nests of 30 rounds. Between them there were channels through which coolant circulated under pressure - liquid ammonia, which provided the bullets with a temperature of about -15 °. This installation consumed about 200 watts of power supply, and weighed approximately 110 kg, so that it could only be transported in a specially equipped jeep.

[KCA]

The nonsense about nuclear bullets has already been debunked 100500 times, the current price for one gram of California is about 250 million rubles, such a normal bullet, for more than one and a half billion, and earlier the cost of California was even higher

[cat Rusich]

yfast, maybe Lobaev has "nuclear bullets" ... On the Internet you can see materials about them. Caliber from 7,62 to 14,3 mm, BB - California 252, charge mass about 6 g, power from 100 to 700 kg TNT. Store in a freezer at -15 degrees, the time for a shot along with preparation is 30 minutes, then back into the freezer. The shelf life of a "nuclear bullet" is about 5 years. Maybe Lobaev makes a rifle under the "order of Comrade X"? - which has something to charge the DXL-5 ...

[Kalmar]

Quote: cat Rusich

As rightly noted above, one real "nuclear bullet" will cost more than the entire Lobaev office with equipment and personnel (in terms of the cost of organs). Well, in most countries, for the purchase of such a bullet, you can sit on a bottle of justice for 20 years))

In fact, the sniper’s goal is not only manpower, but also a mass of stationary objects, light equipment, communications, field depots of fuels and lubricants and ammunition, and so on. They even considered the possibility of defeating ICBMs at the start. Effectively covering the area even at 1000m is problematic, but here 7km. Yes, no matter how much the shot costs, a secretive defeat from such a distance without unmasking the position will be justified a hundred times, and in some cases this may even become the key to the whole operation.

[Herman 4223]

It seems logical, but it seems to me that with such a rifle you can’t run especially far behind enemy lines, it will probably have good dimensions and weight.

but not easier than a rocket?

[L-39NG]

If the observer’s eyes are at a height of 1,7 m above the place where he stands (on a perfectly round globe, without natural obstacles), the horizon is approximately 4,7 km from this observer. Eyes at an altitude of 100 m (a building or a tower, some kind of thing), the horizon at a distance of about 36 km. If we are talking about a rifle, then shooting from a hand, or from a lying position with a double or double and with support under the butt, the horizon will be closer than 4 km. Then, the sight. Astronomical telescope? Electronic zoom? Normal, not ideal atmosphere - dust, water vapor, vertical and horizontal movement of air masses. The picture will shake as if in a fever. Large objects will be visible. But from a rifle on the walls of high-rise buildings? The mortar will be more reliable and more truly. You can, of course, put such a rifle on a heavy platform with a remote control.

[Sentinel-vs]

Even for anti-tank missiles, the possibility of launching at such a range is not considered mandatory. It is very rarely possible to shoot directly from the ground on the ground at such a range. As a rule, folds of terrain, buildings, trees will prevent aiming. But it would be better if such an opportunity was of course, than it would not be. )

Have you held at least one rifle in their hands? The Lobaevs created several models, and not their language.

[Ros 56]

We heard this - don’t give me a gop until you jump over, and behave like serious people. Another topic - they did not boast about going to the army, they boasted about going to rati.
Let the striped ones heel in the chest beat, what an exceptional they are, and already 110 have died and almost 000 million have become infected.

[Wedmak]

Not so long ago, the Military Acceptance showed shooting at 4 km ... they hit the target only on the second day. In the same place, even a target is visible in optics, and the bullet flies for several tens of seconds (I won’t lie, I don’t remember exactly how much). I wonder how the wind will be taken into account at such a distance ... What accuracy can we talk about? Is it to cram into an bullet an optical sensor with rudders and a battery.

[Kisa]

this is a specific type of entertainment for anyone further and is not suitable for practice. they pull a sheet there 10x10m and shoot at 45 bullets at the drop falls almost vertically. A shot counts if it arrives at a 1x1m target.

[Elephant]

So what is it about, the range of a shot or the range of destruction?

[Vadim237]

At a distance of 6 - 7 kilometers, a computer sight to help them.

Quote: Sky Strike fighter

Accuracy of shooting is less than 0.2 MOA groups of 5 shots, and this is with the powerful 408 Cheytac cartridge (nominal caliber 10 mm). By the way, the closest competitor of "Dusk" to the American CheyTac M200 with the same cartridge declared accuracy of 1 MOA (considered a very good result of accuracy), which makes a huge difference at such distances.

Accuracy 0.2 MOA for SVLK and 1 MOA for CT are determined at 100 m. At 1000 m it spreads well, and the reason for this will be the influence of external factors and aiming errors. At 4000 m, the influence of these factors completely neutralizes the difference in accuracy between these rifles and makes the probability of hitting a 1x1 m target, either from one or another artillery system, approximately equal. Preparing a shot, zeroing in and firing before a valid hit takes time sufficient to conduct at least several dozen ATGM launches of the Konkurs or Kornet type. At the same time, the ATGM will provide guaranteed target destruction at the maximum during the second or third launch. Most often, the required result will be achieved with the very first start.
As for record shooting and advertising of weapons for them, this is just a sports interest of a group of people. This is not bad - it is good. The boundaries of possibilities must always be expanded. One should simply not look for the practice of today in purely sporting interests. Especially for the champions. As far as I know, they themselves do not insist on the guaranteed repeatability of the achieved result "from a sheet" anywhere and at any time.

[Zaurbek]

Moreover, the ATGM does not have to hit exactly the target, There are 5-6kg of explosives.

[Keldysh Mstislav]

I shot a lot from various weapons with optical sights. I have a question. What kind of optical sight should be mounted on a hypothetical weapon, in order to identify the target ????

[av58]

It's hard to say, but the brothers are very passionate about their work, for them it is more than business. We wish them good luck and see what happens.

[sanya]

At a speed of a bullet of 2 km / s it will be very effective to shoot at 4 km
Something like today's rifles
Shoot at 1200 meters and 7 km is the maximum theoretically possible range
And such a cartridge can be produced in different calibres for different tasks

Quote: Herman 4223

At this range, you need to have a correctable bullet in flight.

Not necessary. The bullet will fly anyway. The question is the size of the target.
Sport of high achievements and demonstration of opportunities. No practical value. Minute (angular) at this range will be 2,03 m.
Well, the wind. Horse especially. Lottery.

[KSVK]

Quote: Zaurbek

For the price of this rifle and cartridge and optics, you can probably buy a Cornet with a HE rocket and shoot the same way.

I think that it will be possible to buy Cornet and not one ...

[Incvizitor]

Umm, do we have sights to realize this range? I doubt about dusk ...

[Nikolaevich I]

Now we are working on a rifle and a cartridge with a record range of six to seven kilometers and confident shooting three kilometers. The preliminary name of the project is DXL-5, ”he explained.
The same weapons family includes Lobaev Arms products. DXL-4 "Sevastopol" и DXL-3 Retribution.
The most long-range is now a rifle "Dusk"produced by the same company. It confidently hits the target at a range of two and a half kilometers. The record range for a weapon is 4,2 kilometers.
Under DXL-5 will create a new cartridge. It has several technological innovations, thanks to which it will be possible to fire at a specified distance. Shaw for the cartridge, we'll see ... In the available articles, next to the name of Lobaev, a "hypersonic cartridge" is mentioned. The bullet velocity of such a cartridge should reach 2000 m / s ... whereas in the previous "guns" -1200 m / s ... The required performance characteristics are going to be achieved after replacing the gunpowder with a "special propellant"! The "ability" of control ... homing is not mentioned ...

[Wedmak]

The bullet speed of such a cartridge should reach 2000 m / s ... whereas in the previous "guns" -1200 m / s

At the cut of the barrel, then the bullet will slow down quite quickly.

[av58]

At the exhibition, I met the Lobaev brothers, very adequate and non-prominent, no show-offs, everything is simple. Very passionate about their work. Good luck to them.

[sergo1914]

From the MLRS in one gulp. Cheap and reliable. Why fence a garden?

[Dikson]

Is it best to shoot it in a vacuum?

Quote: Maz

Nonsense. anyone who knows how much knows that the horizon of a person with a height of 1m80cm is 5km. She cho will bullet over the horizon? Lying, and from the trench too? Or will the bullets be controllable? They shot their record at 4210m and caught the wind at least ten times ...

A 4210 meter bullet flies 19 seconds, I am silent about the wind at different heights and ranges of the trajectory. To what ? Be noted in the Guinness Book of Records? Maybe it is better to saturate the Russian army with solid long-range snipers and high-quality target cartridges? And also sights including night ones? watch video from 25 minutes and 50 seconds

From mountain to mountain, you can see for 20 km. Is there any claim that they are going to hit motorcyclists? On a motionless target, I think. If there is a biathlon, where accuracy is also not the last thing, then what kind of competition cannot come from this?
And the last thing is to arm a soldier, albeit a special one, not a private sage. Let the defense ministers think so. Everyone let him do his own thing. Then, it may well be that the prestige will be in place, and the soldier is armed not with the only ones, but with rather widespread pieces of iron.

[Prisoner]

If you work at the maximum range, then it's just right for a photographer to shout "I'm taking off attention." That the target would freeze at attention. Otherwise, while the bullet is flying, he may come up with an idea to lie down or go around the corner.

[Free wind]

All over the world, new products are kept secret until the premiere, with the goal of suddenly outperforming competitors and attracting customers. Everything is somehow strange here, everything is the other way around. Volvo rolled out their FH series trucks. With a high comfortable cabin, with new engines and gearboxes. And for almost two years we were at the top of the truck industry, until Scania, Merc and other MANs caught up.

[Klingon]

If a bullet were flying at hypersonic speed (4-5 km/sec), then it should be a Rifle-Railgun (and behind there is a thick cable and a KamAZ truck with a generator and batteries)

[Radical]

DXL-5: in Russia they create a sniper rifle with a range of up to 7 km

For what? If someone, somewhere needs to be killed at a given distance, an ATGM is quite sufficient, and the effectiveness is higher... .

[nekromonger]

another cartoon about a wunderwaffe, in theory it’s possible to do it, but you’ll get nowhere.

Quote: opus

1. Height above the surface of the Earth 1,75 m (height of an average person) = Distance to the horizon 4,7 km

Really? This figure has already been voiced by one girl, did you accidentally repeat it?
Visible horizon, from human height - if you look at zero
5.008

And if you shoot at a target,
Visibility range
8.794

Regarding the forged barrel for such a sophisticated rifle...
There is an opinion that forging introduces such internal stresses into the barrel material that the ingenious Germans have developed a technology for heat treatment of these same barrels.
I heard somewhere that these trunks are not inferior to those cut with a hook or pulled for up to 300 meters.
German grandfathers cut the barrels for their Mausers, then, due to mechanical processing, they were straightened on drums by highly qualified gunsmiths.
Those people who actually shot from combat Mausers are well aware that when heated, the barrel moves, so for fans of scenes with shooting at the head, you need to keep in mind that in addition to the purely practical need to blow ass due to a trivial mortar mine, rapid, aimed fire at for movie heads, it is hardly possible at maximum film distance.
And yes, if God forbid, you will have to shoot at savages from a stationary position as in the famous American film comedy “Sniper”, keep in mind that there are quite a few people who, with a simple army cartridge with the same downtime, army bullets hit the center of the target at about 800 meters 50 times and without stands and sandbags.
I personally use Krieger barrels, which are kept in liquid nitrogen, for an additional fee, of course...
For those who are interested in the topic and know how to read Russian, I recommend the book by S. E. Saukum Trunk, history and production methods of MADAF Jerusalem 2012 - clears the brains polluted by YouTube.
The second curious detail is the presence of a rifle in the absence of a bullet.
First, father commanders must set a task, then for this task they take a bullet, probably with the maximum ballistic coefficient, because it is the bullet that hits the target, and not the aluminum insert...
If a bullet with such characteristics is not in the catalog, then it is made...
The bullet should preferably have supersonic speed on approach to the target, otherwise it may tumble - at this stage a cartridge appears that can accelerate the bullet to the required speed...
So the barrel and the sight with Kevlar in half - later.
In America there is no such rifle because it is not needed, there are hundreds of gunsmiths there who will make this and any rifle without any show-off and tune it like a violin...
You need to start not from 7 kilometers, but from 200 meters and a trivial little thing - you hit the bottle, write comments.
