This is one for hand loading and match grading.

The way things are going I wonder how long it's going to be before some German gun manufacturer dusts off their old WWII "low-recoil (Puppchen) and Taper-Bore technology?

...And end up with a sniper rifle that uses a 30mm cannon cartridge to push out a .308 bullet!!

With well over TWICE the muzzle energy of the .50" at range
...AND the bullet's big enough to have "HELLO" engraved around the nose.

... and if you can keep the jacket on the bullet, you may get to fire about 30 rounds before throat erosion renders the barrel unserviceable.

Which COULD be a problem if you have more than 30 people you dislike that much

I still think it's a good contender for "Toy of the year".

Wouldn't worry too much about that...

Anyway, this is a QUALITY South African product. I'm guessing that this particular "AK" rifle will last well over thousands of rounds. When it was designed the SA Government of the time doubtless had well over 30 targets for this fine "Home / Farm defense weapon"

I believe you are speaking about the xm109, 25mm AP rifle.


Comparing the NTW-20 and the M107, I would still take my m107 over the ntw-20. Why would I want to hump a gun that weighs 20 more lbs and is less accurate (due to ammo) than something I know I can count on time after time to be accurate? Having humped the 107 up some very steep mountains before I can tell you the thought of 20 more lbs and maybe hitting your target is not appealing to the people who use this tool for it's intended purpose.

Yeah. Concur. It's the 14.7mm version of the SA rifle that appeals for it's muzzle and, more importantly it's terminal energy, that appeals.

THat said, The 14.7 NEEDS match loading for consistency. Once you have the match loading, you have a winner.

That said, the ultimate matteer af accuracy over ever increasing range is the point where the bullet drops into the transonic (unstable) region!

Like I said before, I await some German gun manufacturer dusting off the "puppchen" and taper bore technology to send a (discarded sabot) bullet 3Km, 4Km at stable, supersonic speed!!!

Oh yeah, AND I expect the bullet to come "pre-engraved" with "HELLO" on it
