Ukraine is using this massive rifle that’s bigger than a Barrett .50 cal
The Barrett M107 .50-caliber rifle has been popularized in the media as the pinnacle of sniper rifles. In fact, the military classifies the M107 as an anti-materiel rifle. While its .50 BMG cartridge packs a punch and is effective at destroying cover, obstacles, and even taking out engine blocks, there are simply more accurate rifle calibers for use in sniper and marksman rifles. In former Eastern Bloc countries, the anti-materiel cartridge of choice is the larger 14.5x114mm which is being used by Ukraine in their massive rifle: the Snipex Alligator.
