Developer Lobaev: Russia has created the world's first sniper rifle for NATO ammunition

Russia has developed the world's first multi-caliber rifle "Devastator", which is capable of firing NATO cartridges 12.7 x 99 millimeters. This was stated by Vladislav Lobaev, CEO of the Lobaev Arms developer company, RIA Novosti reports.

According to the expert, the main advantage of the new rifle is its modularity. "On the Devastator, we were the first to implement the possibility for snipers to change barrels for two calibers at once – NATO and domestic, depending on the combat task facing them. This significantly increases its export prospects," he stressed.

Lobaev noted that the new weapon has a unique accuracy of 0.5 arc minutes for the 12.7 caliber - thus, the rifle shoots four times more accurately than the American Barret (2 arc minutes). Such high accuracy will allow it to perform one of the most difficult tasks — the fight against enemy sniper units.

The developer company Lobaev Arms also owns the longest-range small arms to date. The Twilight rifle allows you to hit a target at a distance of 2.5 kilometers with accurate shooting, 4.2 kilometers with record shooting.

In November 2019, Russian sniper Sergei Shmakov, using a SVLK-14 "Twilight" rifle, managed to accurately hit a target that was 1920 meters away in total darkness.
