Rifle DXL-5. Shot seven kilometers?

Rifle SVLK-14C "Sumrak" - holder of a range record of 4,2 km

Russian armory KB Integrated Systems (KBIS) continues to work on ultra-long-range high-precision rifles. Products of this company have already shown the possibility of firing at 4,2 km during the day and 1,9 km at night. Now a promising rifle complex is being created, the maximum range of which will reach the level of 6-7 km.

By the beginning of next year


The founder and head of the KBIS / Lobaev Arms Vladislav Lobaev said in an interview for RIA about the existence of a new project Newspublished June 5th. Talking about new developments and their advantages over existing samples, he mentioned a project with the preliminary name DXL-5. It is a continuation of the already well-known family, which includes the DXL-3 "Retribution" and the DXL-4 "Sevastopol" rifles.



As part of the DXL-5 project, an independent development of the rifle complex in the form of a rifle and a new cartridge is underway. Its maximum firing range will reach 6-7 km. Range of confident shooting - 3 km. Rifle systems with such characteristics are not yet available on the world market.

The technical features of the promising rifle were not disclosed; the same was true for the new cartridge. At the same time, V. Lobaev noted that the ammunition under the DXL-5 will have increased dimensions and show an increased initial bullet speed. In these parameters, it will surpass all ammunition used by Lobaev Arms brand rifles.


Possible dates of the appearance of the finished complex are named. It could have appeared only a few months later, not later than the fall - however, the pandemic and the problems associated with it make us reconsider our plans. The "premiere" of the new weapon is shifted to the beginning of 2021

New Details


On June 7, a new interview was published with V. Lobaev for the WarGonzo project. This time, the tactical and technical characteristics of the cartridge, as well as the entire complex, were raised. So, now we are considering several options for a cartridge with a different caliber and other characteristics. By the end of the year, factory tests will be completed, the results of which will determine the final appearance of the complex.

The main feature of the new cartridge will be improved energy performance. V. Lobaev recalled that the existing .408 CheyTac rifles are capable of penetrating body armor of the 6th protection class from a distance of 300 m - some variants of bullets retain such penetration over twice as long. A promising cartridge from KBIS on armor penetration will be about one and a half times better.

In terms of bullet speed and penetration characteristics, the new ammunition will surpass serial large-caliber products of 12,7 x 99 mm and 12,7 x 108 mm. Will he be able to compete with a more powerful 14,5 x 114 mm - will have to be installed during the tests.


Retribution DXL-3, another representative of the high-precision family from CBIS

A serious task is the selection of sighting devices. When shooting at 4,2 km, a March sight with a magnification of 80x was used - this product allowed effective fire on a 1x1 m shield. When increasing the range to 6-7 km, a sight up to 100 x is needed. Features of night optics for such tasks are not specified.

Rifle question


The technical appearance of the promising complex was not disclosed, but some assumptions can be made. Apparently, the new project will continue the development of ideas already tested during the creation of previous rifles. These decisions passed the necessary test and even led to record highs.

The last 4,2 km range record was set with the SVLK-14S Sumrak rifle. It is a single-shot high-precision weapon with manual reloading, produced under the ammunition of three types. Through the use of certain materials, technologies and design solutions, high accuracy and accuracy of the battle is ensured. The effective range is defined as 2,5 km or more, with the proper organization of firing.

It can be assumed that, from the point of view of the general architecture, the promising DXL-5 will not differ from Dusk or other long-range products of Lobaev Arms. We should expect the use of a traditional layout with a developed tubular receiver, hung with a rifled barrel of large relative length (caliber unknown) and a longitudinally-sliding shutter. Mandatory presence of a muzzle brake, compensating for the power of the cartridge.


SVLK-14C receives an aluminum receiver with a steel barrel and bolt. In addition, due to the increased power of the cartridges used, a reinforced bed is used. It is likely that the DXL-5 project uses the same approaches to ensure structural strength.

The DXL-5 complex, having higher energy performance, should have increased strength, which can be obtained at the cost of mass growth. “Dusk” without sight and other equipment weighs almost 10 kg, and the new rifle should be even heavier.

Cartridge specifics


Little is known about the ammunition for the DXL-5, but the announced data is of interest. Approximate ranges of individual characteristics are named, which now allows us to evaluate the capabilities of the entire complex.

It is alleged that the new cartridge in terms of bullet speed and other parameters will surpass the existing serial .408 CheyTac and 12,7 mm ammunition. For comparison, the product .408, depending on the type of bullet, gives an initial speed of 1100 m / s with a muzzle energy of more than 11 kJ. The NATO 12,7 x 99 mm and the Russian 12,7 x 108 mm are inferior to it in speed (no more than 850-950 m / s), but give energy up to 18-20 kJ.


DXL-4 "Sevastopol"

All this allows us to provide approximate characteristics of the new cartridge from CBIS. It should provide an initial speed of more than 1100 m / s and an energy of at least 15-17 kJ. The caliber remains unknown. Perhaps a pointed bullet with a diameter of 10-12 mm will be used.

Organizational Challenges


As before, the development company will conduct a full cycle of weapons testing, including with the definition of its maximum characteristics. In the latter case, shooting will take place at the indicated 6-7 km. Obviously, the organization and implementation of such firing will be a particularly difficult task, which confirms the experience of previous records.

First of all, for a new record, a landfill of appropriate sizes is needed. Also, optical means are needed that can provide observation, guidance and fixing of the results of firing at specified ranges - sight, telescopes, etc.

Of particular difficulty is the calculation of data for shooting. So, when firing from the "Dusk" at 4,2 km the bullet flew along a ballistic trajectory several hundred meters high; her path to the goal took 13 seconds. At this time, she was exposed to various internal and external factors. With an increase in the firing range, despite the increase in speed and energy, the situation will not fundamentally change - shooting and offset shots will again become a particularly difficult task.

Rifle DXL-5. Shot seven kilometers?

Ammo 12,7x99 NATO (left) and .408 CheyTac

However, the KBIS company has experience in such conditions. There is hardly any doubt about the possibility of setting a new record. The question is only the duration of preparation and the number of required shots to obtain stable record results.

Practical value


During the tests, the new DXL-5 rifle will be tested at different ranges, up to the limit. This will lead to a new record, and will also be an excellent advertisement for a promising shooting complex. However, the possibility of hitting targets at such distances will not be its only advantage.

At the training ground, it is quite possible to organize and execute a successful shot of 6 km or more. However, in a real battle, a situation with such range requirements is unlikely, and in addition, it is rarely possible to fully organize such a complex shot. However, this does not reduce the potential of a promising rifle.

For DXL-5 confident shooting at ranges of approx. 3 km. In this parameter, the rifle will surpass other modern models of domestic and foreign development. A promising cartridge with improved energy will show an increase in effective range and higher penetration characteristics. Accordingly, the DXL-5 complex will be able to fight with protected targets - at greater distances than other samples.

Thus, the main value of the developed weapon is not in simple kilometers of distance or joules of muzzle energy. A rifle complex is being created with a large margin of basic characteristics that covers all real or expected battlefield requirements. The advantages of such weapons are obvious.

Now KBIS will have to complete development work, select all the components of the complex, bring it to the test, and then make record shots. Due to known events, the DXL-5 work schedule has moved forward by several months, but the project has not been stopped. Real results will be by the beginning of next year - there is little to wait.

    All these firing at 2 km or more have nothing to do with the military theme. This is pure sport. In a real combat situation no one will shoot from a rifle for 2 km or more, it is easier and more efficient to cover a target with a mortar, howitzer or grenade launcher.

          In 2015, Vladislav Lobaev set a record for firing range of 3200 m. To establish a record, the Lobaev Arms SVLK-14 rifle Dusk in .408 CheyTac caliber was used.

          October 3, 2017 from the SVLK-14 "Twilight" rifle, a world record was set for the range of an accurate shot. At a range of 4210 meters, the Russian shooter Andrei Ryabinsky hit a square target 1 × 1 meter in size [29].

          On November 26, 2019, Russian Sergei Shmakov set a new world record for the night shot range. The shooter laid a group of five shots at a 60 × 60 cm target. The range to the target was 2000 meters. Passive night optics (without backlight) was used [30].

          To establish a record, a completely Russian rifle complex was used as part of the SVLK-14 "Twilight" sniper rifle from Lobaev Arms and the Daedalus night sight. The SVLK-14 “Dusk” rifle was in .408 CheyTac caliber (10,3 mm)

          And if you look at the history of production and for whom and what it produces, it will immediately become clear in what kind of "sport" its products participate.

        1. What was the success of the shot? The previous record holder, as far as I know, indicated that he only got from the eighth shot or so.
        2. How was the hit recorded? The sniper banged, and in 3.5 km someone fell? I’m not sure that from the position of the sniper himself you can see who exactly got into the sufferer.

        1. The new LMG-M should provide effective fire at distances of 1900-2500 m, but not specifically 2,5km.
        2. These requirements can be fulfilled only by a complex - a machine gun, a cartridge, an aiming and measuring device. And they have all this - almost mass-produced. The machine gun fires and confirms the required performance characteristics.
        Name what of the proposed Lobaev produced in the Russian Federation in series. If for a good cartridge in the Russian Federation there is no gunpowder, capsule, brass on a sleeve, a bullet and a sleeve with the required parameters for accuracy, they cannot be manufactured - ask the experts.

        Do not confuse the effective firing range and aiming. These are different things. The effective range is the distance at which the bullet retains its lethal energy. That in the conditions of the infantry unit using automatic weapons allows you to create a high density of fire at a much greater distance. And the aiming range is the distance at which the shooter can confidently hit the target.

They are made longer in order to compensate for the yaw arising from the lack of manufacturing technology. Look for the same "Twilight" cartridges are specially selected from a large batch. But there probably they are guided by the weight of the bullet and the sample of gunpowder.

              So. 408 CheyTac is almost spindle-shaped. She has a ratio of 1:10 to diameter and a solid monolith made of copper alloy. The bullet has a very high speed and loses it more slowly than the same fifty BMG. And at the limit for it, 3-3,5 km has more kinetic energy. Lobaev did not invent anything new. Just threw a bullet at 4 with a hook km. How this happened, you can search for videos. Looks like a circus. Pure sport without practical benefit. At seven kilometers, they’ll probably just draw a two-meter circle on the ground and put the spotter gunner next to him.

    My dear, before you re-post nonsense, you have at least a little understanding of the issue. A bullet is not a laser beam. And in a straight line does not fly. So it is that our slimy x54th cartridge will easily throw a bullet at a kilo and a half. The main thing is to make him throw the bullet in the place chosen by the shooter. And in your opinion, the guns also do not shoot further than 4,7 km? wassat

      The bullet flies along a ballistic trajectory (almost a parabola), and the aiming goes along the optical sight, i.e. in a straight line (so it will be visible in the sight behind the horizon, but everything is possible if the target is slightly raised, because crocodiles also fly, well, and in humans the flight of thoughts (fantasies) is unlimited).
      Guns outside the direct range shoot at instruments (with the installation of angles) and preferably with a spotter. So the woman is right.
      Throw this one, and get it another.

          Try to shoot at least 3 km. Look through the scope (at least in the Schmidt & Bender and look through the Russian scope), what you will see in the scopes at this range and how the reticle overlaps a 2x1m target at this range. See how the target is visible against a background and the target in disguise. See how at this range you can see through a little haze, dust, etc.
          How they influence the possibility of detection of upward flows (evaporation) from the earth. Not from a good life they put anti-tape tapes on a rifle. And there are still a bunch of factors.
          Try to look at the target at a distance of 1 km at night with an image intensifier or a bolometer, I'm not talking about shooting at night at this range.
          And only after that we can talk about shooting can be at a distance of 5 km, but not like 7 km.
          Has the world suddenly become two-dimensional?

          The world is not two-dimensional, but three-dimensional, like three-dimensional and weather profile in the shooting sector. Calculate at what height the top of the trajectory will be and look at the distribution of the values ​​and directions of the wind by altitude, temperature, pressure, humidity.
          And if you go to shoot from a hill, a house, a mountain, then ask the gunners how much time and shells they need to hit the target according to the targeted landmarks, if there are specialists from the AIR (sound technicians - who have a sound certificate for this rifle in the computer library and the computer itself will give target designation to the battery comp) gave the control unit for this landmark.
          In addition to the three-dimensionality of space, there is also a time factor.
          About shooting in the mountains, even at 3 km range, I am completely silent.
          In order to understand how the bullet is chatting on the flight path, fly along the gorge by helicopter and see how it is thrown up and down, to the right or left by air currents depending on the illumination of different parts of the mountain surface (covered with shrubs or bare), the river flowing into the gorge changes the flow of air, etc. See how the helicopter sausages at the gorge junction ...
          See which pillar of dust the muzzle will raise when shooting in the desert.

    In terms of bullet speed and penetration characteristics, the new ammunition will surpass serial large-caliber products of 12,7 x 99 mm and 12,7 x 108 mm.

    Breakdown characteristics do not exist. There is a piercing action of a bullet. And Lobaev Arms whole-shot bullets make barriers solely due to the relatively high specific energy values. They will not be able to get closer to the penetrating action of bullets with armor-piercing cores of the .50th caliber - different physics of the process of breaking through a solid obstacle does not play in favor of a turned bullet from a relatively soft material. Concerning
    Will he be able to compete with a more powerful 14,5 x 114 mm - will have to be installed during the tests.

    Mandatory presence of a muzzle brake, compensating for the power of the cartridge.

    The muzzle brake does not "compensate for cartridge power". It reduces the recoil force of the weapon during the aftereffect period.
    Thus, the main value of the developed weapon is not in simple kilometers of distance or joules of muzzle energy. A rifle complex is being created with a large margin of basic characteristics that covers all real or expected battlefield requirements.

    Stock is good and right. In this case, the margin is in range, but not in "basic characteristics". In this case, the criterion "necessary - not necessary" will be the economic effect - and this is where questions may arise.

      Thinks beautifully. It captures the spirit. First, I threw out a dictionary of synonyms. Since writing dryly in techno means we will not compensate for the power of the cartridge, but only the recoil. And of course I agree with you on the punchy calculations. You have the "material" of a bullet-cartridge on your hands, do I understand correctly? Since you are confident in coming to conclusions after reading only the "Wishlist" of the project.

    I allow myself to disagree with you in the context of the voiced distances. Here, of course, you need to understand WHAT We will "flash", but a solid (made of some soft alloy) bullet will be heavier than a bullet with a steel core. And it will have a much higher ballistic coefficient. This means that it will bring more energy to a certain distance. Undoubtedly, at some range of distances, a bullet with a steel core will outperform a solid one in terms of armor penetration. But if we shoot at the body in an armor, then it is not necessary to pierce this armor. It will be enough to hit the target, with sufficient energy, and what under the armor will turn into minced meat, even if the integrity of the body armor itself is preserved. Well, and also, at the indicated ranges, the bullet will go at subsonic speed and the material for making the bullet itself will no longer play a decisive role.

    “Its maximum firing range will reach 6-7 km” rather, it is the maximum range of the bullet itself. Let's say from the NSV machine gun (12,7 mm) the maximum range is just 7 km. There is simply no point in firing at a distance of 7 km from small arms to defeat enemy personnel, due to too much deflection of bullets. As indicated in the article, when shooting from the "Twilight" rifle at a distance of 4,2 km, a 1x1 m target was used, which exceeds the size of such a target as an enemy soldier. At the same time, it is obvious that to hit such a distant target requires a long preparation and zeroing.
    All these records are necessary only to draw attention to the company. Weapons with more realistic and practical characteristics will be ordered.
    In reality, if you need to hit a person (especially important) at such ranges, then they use guided missiles from an air carrier, and not a sniper with a miracle rifle and the unrealistic task of hitting a target from a distance of several kilometers.
    The desire to get a rifle with an effective firing range of three kilometers is also unrealistic. In my opinion, two or two kilometers is the limit of the effective firing range of a sniper rifle at a "soft" target (a single enemy soldier, for example) And this is when using appropriate ammunition, the latest generation sights, ballistic computers and weather sensors. Next is ATGM or Hellfire with a UAV.

    The main purpose of this rifle is to exhaust the protection of VIPs from different countries. At the time of Napoleon, the security zone was 50 meters, you can't get further. In the 1970s, they thought about snipers and began to examine a radius of 600-800 m from the VIP's trajectory. Now it is already one and a half km, they are afraid of 12.7. The appearance of rifles with a declared range of 7 km in service with the Russian Federation and in deliveries to various countries will mean any cessation of VIPs entering the open sky and their approach to windows. Or replacement with twins. Plus a huge load on the security, which will start to get tired ... make mistakes ... here "Kornet-D" will fly if necessary.
