A Long Range Weapon for a Long Distance Relationship

A Long Range Weapon for a Long Distance Relationship


CheyTac Long Range Rifle System - Intervention sniper rifle (USA)

This is one of my favourite weapons. It is a sniper rifle with a range of more than 2000 meters (thus it can engage targets more than 2 kilometers away!).

Comes with a targetting computer which can be used for greater accuracy.

I just love the thought of being able to target something 2 kilometers away.

This rifle is fired lying down on the ground. It is to heavy to be fired like a conventional gun (it weighs 12 kgs!)


Caliber: .408 CheyTac
Operation: manually operated rotating bolt action
Barrel: 762 mm (30")
Weight: 12.3 kg
Length: 1400 mm (stock retracted), 1220 mm (stock collapsed)
Feed Mechanism: 5 rounds detachable box magazine

I know guns are bad and all that.. but this is a piece of amazing engineering and that is what I am appreciating along with the power it gives its user.
