The Alligator Ukrainian: The two-metre-long rifle

[WillBrink]

"Makes the .50 cal look like a pea shooter" Interesting... I don't know if ever used in the field, but we do have the 20mm Anzio Vulcan.

Never heard of such a monster:

I was looking up some numbers on it, it's nearly a 1000gr bullet going 3300fps with around 24,000 ft-lbs of energy. That's some serious punch.

How does it compare to the Anzio 20mm Vulcan? Without looking up the numbers, I assume above the .50 cal and below this monster:

It's definitely way above the 50 cal, and surely below the 20mm. I haven't looked up the numbers on the 20mm, but that thing is insane, I wonder how much that rifle weighs.

Reminds me of the Boys Anti-Tank rifle of WWII vintage.

Might as well Solothurn.
