IDEF 2021: Truvelo displays 20x110mm sniper rifle


South African company Truvelo has recently added the 20x110mm anti-material sniper rifle to its range of small arms. This company is one of the few weapon manufacturers in the world to design and produce a sniper rifle in the 20mm caliber.

The tripod mount has built-in recoil dampers to help reduce the rifle’s strong recoil. Thanks to this, the sniper will be able to shoot even with such a large caliber rifle.

All the various external systems currently mounted on armored and light-skin vehicles, for instance, can be destroyed with this rifle whose practical range oscillates between 1.5 to 2 km.

The weight of the rifle with its tripod imposes a two-man crew: the shooter will carry the rifle, while his teammate will carry the tripod and the ammunition box, a combination designed for static use, not a mobile operation for which a sniper rifle in .50 caliber is the maximum solution to be taken into consideration.
