Kyiv plant "Mayak" displays at IDEF 2021 the Night Predator Infantry Cannon PG-14,5 sniper rifle.
The Ukrainian development has aroused great interest from all members of the military community, according to the press service of the Kyiv plant.
The Night Predator has 15.5 mm caliber chambered for standard 14.5x114 machine gun cartridge. The maximum range of the aimed shot is 4000 meters.
The recoil of this cannon is less than 7.62 mm rifles have, and therefore has a minimal effect on the quality of the shot. Due to 1330 mm barrel length, the bullets have an initial velocity of 150 m/s and pierce armored vehicles and engineering fortifications. The shot accuracy is from 1 to 1.5 MOA.
"The rifle is equipped with a new generation sound moderator, which, in addition to the low sound of the shot, works as a ballistic refrigerator. The rifle temperature during intense combat is the same as the temperature of the human body. And this greatly complicates its detection with appropriate camouflage," say the specialists of the Mayak plant.
