RIA Novosti: Russian Ravager rifle shooter hit Ukrainian Armed Forces spotter and sniper

“The 12mm rifle is quite heavy, but effective. Sometimes, during the night, a sniper under my command changes his position in the 150-meter zone up to six times,” reported RIA Novosti, officer of the Sokol Battalion.

Recall that the first reports of the appearance in Russian snipers of the DXL-5 “Ravager” two-caliber rifle, capable of firing both domestic cartridges and NATO ammunition, appeared in August of the last year.

The main feature of the “Ravager” rifle is a shock absorber – a device for softening recoil and increasing accuracy. Thanks to this, the DXL-5 has a single shot accuracy – 0.5 minutes of arc, while the American Barrett rifle has 2 minutes of arc.

Aiming range – about 2300 meters, weight – 13 kilograms. Reloading is manual.
