I think the proper term for these are anti-materiel rifle. Made for stopping vehicles.
…it says that in the title
I like the plan, and it looks good, but I just feel that dual wielding them may not work.
Are those massive silencers on the end or something else?
Never seen a rifle that large before.
Could also be massive muzzle brakes. That rifle must kick like a horse on five different kinds of steroids.
A muzzle brake is not a closed cylinder. There would also be no reason to make it that long.
yeah, I’m European, I don’t know shit about guns
I have to ask: You are aware that you have no idea what you are talking about, yet you felt the need to answer him? Can you explain why? This is an extremely common thing for people to do, so it is very interesting to hear (if possible) what your train of thought was.
I’m not sure that beating up on someone who decides to say that they aren’t familiar with something and are retracting an earlier suggestion is a good idea. Seems likely to lead to people not retracting things even when they think that they might not be correct.
I simply want to understand the thought process. I appreciate that they acknowledge it to begin with.
It’s a fucking joke, mate. Me being European has nothing to do with my knowledge of firearms. A muzzle brake is a fair guess, so is a WWII-era heat sink. But, I guess you know guns better than I do, congratulations. You really owned me.
Untwist your pantalettes.
They are suppressors (a.k.a. silencers). They work just like your car’s muffler and both were invented by the same guy: the grandson of the inventor of the Maxim machine gun.
It will certainly not make these monster guns movie-quiet but it reduces their massive sound and flash signature making it harder to locate where they were shot from.

Well that’s a cool TIL.
It’s a Supressor
weight — 6.9 kg
That’s quite a suppressor.
Compare to an M4 carbine, the current US issue rifle (not a suppressor on an M4, but the whole weapon):

6.43 lb (2.92 kg) empty[4]
7.75 lb (3.52 kg) with 30 rounds and sling
SnipeX Alligator anti-materiel rifle
It’s to kill alligators, right? Right?
More like Krokodil and the people high on it:
