[QUOTE="GunSlingingPlatypus, post: 2670730, member: 34930"] Are you kidding me?!?! What a joke! [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2859301/ISIS-s-latest-killing-machine-10-foot-sniper-rifle-fire-bullets-three-times-size-normal-gun.html[/url] [img]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.dailymail.co.uk_i_pix_2014_12_03_23B4905C00000578_2859301_image_a_1_1417621893555.jpg[/img] It's so big that it has to be supported on two tripods and fires ammunition that's three times the size of standard rifle ammo. An Isis terrorist has been photographed aiming a 10-foot long sniper rifle out of a flat window in Kobane. The fearsome weapon fires 23mm calibre bullets, far larger than the standard size. Fearsome: An Isis terrorist has been photographed aiming a 10-foot long sniper rifle out of a flat window in Kobane Gigantic: This picture shows a row of 23mm bullets - the same size as those fired by the 10-foot rifle Huge casings from the bullets can be seen on the floor next to the gunman. What sort of effect this gun would have remains open to debate, however, according to firearms expert David Dyson. He told MailOnline: 'The problem with identifying the effect of this gun is firstly that we don't know for sure what the calibre is, although there wouldn't be a lot of point in building something like this if it wasn't of a significant calibre. Secondly, and probably of more importance, we don't know how well it is made: is the barrel accurately machined and rifled? 'The effect will also depend on the type of ammunition used. These rounds exist [23mm] fitted with high explosive incendiary or armour piercing incendiary projectiles.They will be effective against personnel and vehicles including lightly armoured ones.' The picture emerged after a show of force from al Qaeda's Nusra Front, a rival group. They toured in a convoy around villages they said they had captured from Syrian rebels. Dozens of pick-up trucks bristling with anti-aircraft guns and men [/QUOTE]
