FallujahMedic -FM- 867 Posted March 8, 2013 Interesting way to mitigate the significant recoil. Much in the way the Lhati 20mm used skis. Though this might have also helped in transport. The Denel NTW-20, seems a much more refined model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OChristie 0 Posted March 11, 2013 Pure stupidity. Again, another, come and look at how scary we are, weapon from a failing country, also from a tactical viewpoint his 'footprint' not literally, is huge, he sticks out like a saw thumb. Plus the weapon system looks like its had a gas canister welded on the end! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted March 11, 2013 Guess Iran is just trolling the west - their unmanned + stealthy speedboats with nuclear warheads could be a bigger threat.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattar_Tharkari 10 Posted March 12, 2013 Why do all their videos have dodgy editing and obvious special effects? The end of this one is very fishy, sudden cuts, weapon is not firing a 20mm round, explosion is all wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted March 12, 2013 Reminds me of the m82a2 air defence rifle. There are a couple of 20mm anti material rifle systems, both firing 20mm aircraft loads from ww2. A Croatian gun with a venturi nozzle facing rearward to help manage the massive recoil of the 20mm rounds used in the 20mm hispano mkII, and the South African gun that everyone is familiar with firing the German 20mm load they used the mg151/20, which uses a muzzle break and hydraulics to lessen the recoil forces. The firing signature may be huge, but the idea is they'll be using this thing off a motorcycle or some shit. I dunno. It seems plausible but nothing to write home about.

Flecktyphus 1 Posted March 12, 2013 Looks very rough, what are they even trying to show off? The fact that they can drill and tap some rebar and form a long tube using a ball peen hammer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
