Russian High-Tech Firm to Showcase Silent Sniper Rifle

May 30, 2018 By Steve Schneider

By Mrakor @Adobestock

Russian high-tech firm, Shipunov Instrument-Making Design Bureau, will showcase its 12.7mm quiet sniper rifle in August at the Army-2018 arms exhibition. The rifle is derived from the MTs-116M, and is believed to use a subsonic cartridge to greatly reduce pressurized gases and muzzle flash, thereby making the rifle and sniper less conspicuous on the battlefield.

A new Russian 12.7mm quiet sniper rifle derived from the MTs-116M gun will be demonstrated for the first time at the Army-2018 arms exhibition in Kubinka outside Moscow in late August, a representative of the Shipunov Instrument-Making Design Bureau (the rifle’s developer) told TASS on Monday.

The company will showcase a whole range of MTs-116M rifle modifications at the Army-2018 arms show, including 7.62x51mm (.308 Winchester), 7.62x67mm (.300 Winchester Magnum) and 8.6x70mm (.338 Lapua Magnum) guns, the representative said.

More powerful cartridges (with the greater powder charge due to the cartridge’s larger size) provide for better trajectory flatness and more accurate shooting, the representative said.

“Considering the high-quality production of barrels, the bullet’s deviation is just 13mm per 100m,” the representative of the design bureau said.

Besides, the design bureau will demonstrate rifle variants chambered for the 7.62mm subsonic ammunition and 12.7 noiseless cartridges,” he said.

All the modifications have retained the stock of the MTs-116 rifle and use the standardized trigger and striking mechanism but have different barrels.

As the design bureau’s specialist said, the MTs-116M rifle’s quiet large-caliber modification will be intended for Special Forces for their use largely in urban conditions.
