7 Most Powerful And Dangerous Sniper Rifles of All Time

in wars during the 19th century troopers could feel safe by backing a couple of meters away from musket fire the tactic worked just fine until the first snipers appeared in the 1900s they were brilliant shooters who could only be noticed when a soldier died on a battlefield they drove the enemy crazy with their spirit and unpredictability snipers instilled a sense of fear and coldness up against close quarters combat and turned well-known military tactics on their heads by the 21st century designers and our Tiffa sirs perfected sniper rifles today such weapons can fight against a tank or a helicopter one on one I'm sure you can guess that size matters here and not only here size matters everywhere especially in my favorite game this is a tactical 6 vs 6 multiplayer game called war robots where you're running around as giant robots equipped with the biggest and powerful weapons of your choice there is over 70 million players have already installed the game and this is not surprising when 3d graphics look amazing constant content updates with new robots and maps so you'll never bored a download war robots via my link below and get the special bonus of a GI Patton robot and a unique skin for it for punisher machine guns 100 gold and 400,000 silver if you watch the movie shooter you may remember the beginning scene where the main character Bob trying to avenge the death of his friend sends a military helicopter streak to a cliff with a few shots he can make that happen with the famous American self-loading rifle barrett m82 the shooter scriptwriters didn't actually exaggerate the power of the rifle the brainchild of a former law enforcement officer Ronnie Barrett the m82 was designed to tackle lightly armored units it is effective against tanks and vehicles as well as aircraft throughout the movie Bob used chevy TAC intervention m 200 which we will discuss later how ever he pursued different goals let's go back to the Barrett m82 all the rifles from this company were designed to be used with a 12-point 7 by 99 millimeter cartridge previously used in the m2 browning machine gun the Barrett m82 range reaches 1,800 meters and it's hip precision rate is up to 1.5 to 2 MOA u.s. soldiers were equipped with these rifles in Kuwait and Iraq during Operation Desert Storm and Operation Desert Shield in the early 90s however their most famous operations were in the Nazis and involved countering enemy infantry despite the anti-material kind of rifle in 2002 a Canadian corporal Rob furlong made the longest shot during Operation anaconda he killed a Taliban fighter from a distance of 2,000 430 meters sergeant steve Reichert completed the Barrett's impressive list of merits by eliminating three Iraqi rebels hiding behind a brick wall at once the distance of the shot was 1,600 meters the barrett m82 is held in great respect in Tennessee it is the official rifle of the state from 2016 well why not it is quite a brutal symbol of the state this model has become popular in movies and video games such as call of duty and Point Blank gamers are ready to risk all to get this weapon as they can easily destroy everything around it which is impossible to do with a regular sniper rifle filmmakers value it as well besides shooter the Barry at 82 was shown in Rambo Ford in the hands of the schoolboy and in smokin aces held by an assassin sharise waters in the latter movie the FBI agents hit by the Barrett were unrealistically thrown several meters backwards making somersaults in the air it is the way the director wanted to portray the bullets high kinetic energy [Music] just like the Barrett 82 the Austrian rifle steyr iws mm was not originally intended to be used against humans using its power for this purpose is like using a steam hammer to crack nuts just consider that the manufacturer had designed the special subcaliber 207 millimeter long cartridge Steyer apfsds with fifteen point two millimeter caliber for this rifle the shot muzzle energy reaches 36 kilojoules and the armor penetration is estimated at 42 millimeters the technical characteristics of the stayer allow the rifle to hit lightly armored and non armored targets as well as vehicles and ammunition depots and a distance of up to 2,000 meters actually this model should be called a sniper rifle despite the apparent absurdity of such a definition this is a smoothbore weapon which means it should not be called a rifle even given the high accuracy and far distance it covers however the terminology details do not stop us from considering the Steyer iws mm as one of the most powerful rifles in the world today its advantages can be appreciated only by a few owners it has not been introduced officially due to the cost of the ammunition required people order the Steyr in small quantities even though the Austrian supplier like any company who has some self-respect does not disclose information about the buyers there are rumors that the US army bought several iws 2000 units and they were even seen in combat they say that everyone who works in the American weapons company and zo ironworks is crazy it is quite a subjective statement but there is one thing we can guarantee with the guys created real monsters among their large caliber sniper rifles just because they could one of them is the Anzio takedown rifle the length of this anti-materiel rifles barrel is 1,200 millimetres and its weight as more than 17 kilos you cannot hide it in your pocket that's for sure but even at target 3 kilometers away from the shooter would have no chances Anzio takedown rifle owners know what a quality shot is worth this is a single shot weapon that must be reloaded manual and can carry up to three bullets you'd better reach the target on the first attempt especially with the help of the innovative twenty millimeter telescopic sight with this rifle you can even eliminate targets that were out of reach for previous models besides the 20 by 102 caliber shells the Anzio takedown rifle works just fine with the Soviet 14.5 by 114 millimeter caliber cartridges but it is good not only because it works with different ammo it also has high muzzle velocity up to one kilometer per second and the muzzle energy is 57 point 53 killer jerries with 101 grams weight it is more than enough to fire both land and air targets American gunsmiths aren't the only ones who like large caliber weapons it's been 20 years since the South African Defense Forces have used the Meacham ntw 20 rifle produced by Aerotech the brainchild of designer Anthony Nieto an expert on anti-tank rifles the rifle is intended to counter enemy snipers at long distances destroy missile systems satellite antennas of parked aircraft sensing systems and lightly armoured vehicles the Meacham ntw 20 is good for demining unexploded aerial bombs a shooter puts out the fuse making a sappers life easier the rifle kit includes two interchangeable barrels the first is designed to fire 20 by 80 3.5 millimeter bullets the muzzle energy is twenty nine point zero three kilojoules the second one is to fire 14.5 by 114 millimeter bullets it's been included to increase the shooting distance you don't need to use any special tools to swap one barrel to another it takes about a minute Anthony knee off a toe knew that the rifles power would cause a massive recoil shock after a shot for this reason he tried to reduce the impact on the sniper to the maximum by using extra shock absorbers and dampers even with such devices the shooter needs a few seconds to recover if you want to try this weapon we recommend you carefully consider whether you're ready let's look at the chevy tack and 200 intervention the only weapon in our list that is not anti material in its pure form this rifle was designed to engage soft targets such as enemy infantry and it is perfect for precise hits less than 1 MOA at a distance of more than 2,000 meters like many sniper rifles the M 200 is bolt-action it needs to be reloaded manually such weapons are traditionally considered more accurate than automatic and semi-automatic rifles the 408 Chevy TAC cartridge with a nominal caliber of 10 millimeters was designed specifically for this rifle and it's muzzle energy reaches 11350 joules the chevy TAC M 200 is much more practical than the previous monsters it is 2 times lighter than say the me hem and allows the shooter to fire up to 20 rounds per minute truth be told it's price bites you you will have to part with about 50 thousand dollars for one of the best products on the american weapons market however you can try it in real life and those who love shooting can grab a chevy TAC and 202 confront enemies in computer games such as call of duty and crossfire it also became the main weapon of vengeance for Bob in the affirmation movie shooter let me introduce a very exotic weapon not adopted by any country today due to the high shock and possibility to harm the shooter after the first shot the founder of SSK industries an american gunsmith Jones developed a 24 by 75 caliber rifle cartridge jdj 950 according to the international classification it should be considered a cartridge and the rifle specially designed for it as a handheld gun many believe this is the most powerful weapon in the world it is very popular among private fans of large calibers and wealthy finance series of entertainment shooting to put it mildly it doesn't have the gentlest recoil this rifle is very heavy as its weight varies from 36 to 50 kilograms its dimensions can be seen on the video as you can see using in shooting sports is not very appropriate I'm not even talking about any military action we'll have to wait and see what happens in that respect the above rifles could be used to counter enemy snipers helicopters and lightly armored vehicles but you could use the 14 millimeter American SOP to hunt a Tyrannosaurus that dinosaurs still existed even if the caliber might not seem that impressive to you the muzzle energy of this one is approximately 60 kilojoules and the rifle range is 5 kilometers it's bullets have high aspect ratio and weighs about 110 grams however the most surprising thing is perhaps the declared accuracy of the weapon half an angular minute far away of about 2700 meters initially it was designed for sport super long-range shooting and for obvious reasons it still has no application in the army however we would not be surprised to see it in an action movie in a couple of years
