Behold, the assault revolver, the rsh-12!?

Yes! There is a revolver firing the giant 12.7x55 mm round. Ofc, there's a very SPECIFIC purpose- punching through walls and body armour to put DOWN terrorists WITH one shot- and one hand as the other usually holds a ballistic shield.

The concept makes MUCH sense: despite what movie's tell us pistols, even tricked out specops handguns evidence failure to feed. Revolver with much fewer parts are more reliable. The giant round is so powerful a solid hit ESPECIALLY at typical close room distance would dismember the victim- therefore the revolver makes sense in AT ops. In a traditional P2P 1st world battle space like Russia vs W Europe, our AS/ KDF or ISWAP/NA engagements it would be as useless as gills on a lion!
The rsh-12 exemplifies how tactical NEED influences the weapon-NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. I hope the idea that weapons are tailored to the tactical situation is now clear.
GASSPPP! There are now carbine versions available for civvy hunters.

Right now they are digging huge trenches to keep the herders at Bay.. fighting may not always be the solution since revenge attacks will escalate the situation.
Use of soft power rather than hard power will de escalate the situation and have long lasting effect on the communities.

There were fears and tension in Laikipia after two Kenya Defence Forces soldiers and two General Service Unit (GSU) were shot dead by armed bandits in Kamwenje area, Laikipia West in the ongoing chaos in the area.

What is that? Radar or EW?

As we said

IIRC, the Neopup is designed to stop VBIEDs by punching through the engine block. That SPECIFIC need birthed the rifle.

Earlier reports suggest Nigeria may have ordered Sa'ar 72 Corvettes.

Could this visit be further evidence of that purchase?

SuperSixSeven:


My bet is on the Shaldag V - but of course i would be happy for the NN if they introduce Sa'ar 72 Corvettes.

And walls and cover. Though I think shooting somebody with 20mm has to some special kind of evil.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- Sig Sauer gave a live-fire tour of its new .338 Norma Magnum machine gun -- a lightweight weapon that U.S. Special Operation Command recently selected for evaluation.
