[@endorsedbryce]

HI, idiot weeb here! Would this not be a perfect DMR/battle rifle role if equipped with a smart scope system?

[@prestonbecker8784]

@@endorsedbryce Assuming that is a serious question, no. 50 BMG is overkill for humans, you can't carry as much ammo as .308 or the new Furry round, and I doubt that this system is accurate enough to serve as a DMR. Having the entire barrel move backwards does not lend itself to excessive accuracy. As Ian over at Forgotten Weapons has pointed out, even the short recoil Barret 50 probably has a 2-3 MoA accuracy. From what I remember, this version of the rifle was intended for an anti-material roll in urban combat. When you have a lightly armored personal carrier only 150 yards from you, 2-3 MoA accuracy is perfectly acceptable, especially if in exchange you get a "compact" 50 cal rifle. In contrast, DMR's are for engaging enemies beyond 200-300 yards, where accuracy and ammo capacity is much more important than weapon compactness or bullet size (i.e. a 30 caliber bullet is more than large enough to incapacitate a human sized target, don't need a 50 caliber bullet)

[@mufasachainbreaker7757]

@@endorsedbryce Honestly, it would be a terrible DMR. Not because it could hit or kill a target. It is just that antiMaterial rifles and DMR/Battle rifle roles are different. 6.8/308 tend to make better battle rifle rounds. This again isn't because it doesn't have enough impact. It is more like why an artillery piece isn't a good DMR. It fires slowly, isn't maneuverable, and the like. You want something as light and low recoil as possible while also having around 600 - 800 meters effective range and capability to penetrate body armor, with a 20+ round magazine for battle rifles. DMRs like a little longer range and/or a little extra precision/accuracy. In firepower and accuracy the .50 is fine. It is just low on ammunition, the ammunition is too heavy, the gun too bulky and heavy...

[@braxton1098]

The gun seems to have reliability issues…so it’s not really the best one. I’d pick the Barrett M95 or M99 for the proper heavy long rifle and anti materiel rifle in the bullpup form. This rifle is a gimmick. Still cool, though.

It is because we are only allowed 5 rounds on semi-autos. Gm6 lynx uses a 5 round mag, so it is perfectly legal. (For the moment anyway, It will probably be banned too.) Our gun laws are stupid.

[@embarkingolive]

@@CyberJellos you can pin mags down to 5 rounds. The ammo capacity has nothing to do with it, though you are right, most guns are restricted to 5 round magazines. The real reason the barret is illegal is 100% perception, just like the ak47. The AK47 is viewed as a "terrorist icon" but I can legally own a Type -81. Our gun laws are so dumb. They aren't made based on function, just perception.

At least in Europe, the lynx is sold as a double standard. all parts are supplied for the bmg50 and the soviet standard 12.7mm ammunition as well. (of which there is a necessary double in the set) can be refitted at any time in half an hour. For example, you can use the cheap Russian ammunition for practice, and when there is a live situation, then the more reliable BMG50 ammunition... By the way, Hungary already uses NATO standard ammunition, which is a non-standard device is replaced... that's how the AMD65 was replaced by the BREN2 carbine...

[@willyvereb]

Amusingly enough the Gepárd family has almost as long of a history as the Barret, first made in the 80s. Even the Lynx model is over a decade old and it shows. The rifle is kept being improved upon, one thing at the time. The British SAS chose the rifle for this and because it's easier to haul in airborne operations than other anti-material rifles. Since they are active in Iraq and Syria I also guess the ability to convert them into the Russian 12.7 x 108 mm caliber can also come in handy. Also accuracy is a big can of worms. It's hard to determine that objectively unless you have a huge sample size. Effective range is even worse. Effective for what? 800 yards may look short but that's the range for a certain requirement which is not exactly the same as for the Barret or other rifles. The manufacturer claims 1.0 MOA accuracy at 1000 meters so you'd think the rifle is good for that distance, as well. Then we can go about the fact that anti-materiel rifles are meant not exactly against human targets as priority. So ultimately accuracy debates, barring very egregious differences, are pointless for a military weapon like this. That being said a lot can be attributed to the rifle's success in civilian sales. The rifle would've been probably dumped years ago if not for the civilian market. So I wonder, when will Sero follow the trends and introduces a variant in .416 Barret or one of the CheyTac calibers? These calibers are still beefy enough to benefit from the system and the rifle could be perhaps light enough that shouldering it would be more sensible than how it currently is. Only time can tell...

[@farmerbrown84]

Bullet is gone out the barrel within 2 milliseconds. It barely moves in that time.

[@2S1L3NT]

The barrel won't move until the bullet leaves and the gasses start to exit the barrel. If you think about it - As the bullet is being forced down the barrel the violence is contained within a space and nothing outside of it is aware of what's even happening, so it has no direction of propulsion. Once the bullet leaves the barrel the gasses have an exit, and like a rocket nozzle, it creates thrust rearward on the rifle, and barrel mechanism.
