| Description |
|
The NTW-20 is a South African anti-materiel rifle or large-calibre sniper rifle, developed by Denel's Mechem division in the 1990s. The weapon was designed by Tony Neophytou and intended for deployment against a wide variety of targets, including parked aircraft, telecommunication masts, power lines, missile sites, radar installations, refineries, satellite dishes, gun emplacements, bunkers and personnel, using a range of specialized projectiles. The NTW-20 in 20 x 110 calibre is a new version of the weapon. The accurate high explosive capability makes it extremely effective in the counter-sniping role, where indiscriminate fire from weapons such as mortars and rocket launchers is completely unacceptable. The new NTW 20 are now offered in 20 x 110 mm Hispano calibre. This calibre is highly efficient in terms of velocity, penetration and target effect.

The efficient recoil management system reduces the high velocity recoil, making the system very user friendly without tactical restrictions. The recoil system consists of an efficient muzzle brake, a spring buffer and a hydraulic damper. The barreled action is free to recoil in the frame of the weapon. NTW-20 is a manually operated, rotating bolt action rifle. The barrel is locked by the rotating bolt that has 6 lugs. The barrel along with the receiver could recoil inside the chassis frame against combined hydraulic and pneumatic damping system. Large two-chamber muzzle brake also helps to keep recoil at the acceptable level. NTW-20 is fed from the detachable box magazine, that is inserted from the left side and holds 3 rounds.
