This why Russia will never win in Ukraine.
Snipers can and should do this to Russians ruling Ukrainians.
This doesn’t have to be an expensive win.

Try observing this from a Technical Perspective.

I hope he has a concealed carry permit for that…

Something telling here:
“Another design requirement for Horizon’s Lord rifle was the capability of changing the caliber. That’s why the bolt head and barrel of the rifle can be easily detached. In a matter of bolt head and barrel change, the caliber of the rifle can be changed to .416 Barrett, .460 Steyr, .50 BMG, or 12.7x108mm. Even easier, in a matter of only a barrel change, the rifle can be converted to 14.5x114mm or 23x115mm.”
They didn’t develop it... It too conveniently fits our barrels and bolts.

Parts is parts!
IMO, the glass is the hard part.

This is probably the world’s most advanced “rifle”... or is it even a rifle...?
A technical marvel.

Would take a full squad to move that beast.
Would each squad member need a permit?
Asking for a friend.

This reminds me of the Toyota Land Cruiser back in the day. The engine castings were an exact knock off of the Chevy 235 inline 6. We probably sold them the casting molds. The only difference was the holes were tapped for metric bolts.
They didn’t design or develop that engine. We did... And we already had tons of them before they “introduced” these engines.

My thoughts exactly. I want details, cartridge used, holdover in mils, wind speed/direction, coriolis effect correction, ballistic coefficient and weight in grains of the projectile. A whole bunch of stuff. You know, just for fun in case I ever need to make a shot like that.
