I bet.
Did the sceptics not fit a .50 barrel to one of these for experiments in the long range sniper duels in Korea?

They did indeed, apparently it was effective out to around 1800m.
There is also a guy in the States that has converted one to 20mm using a machined Vulcan cannon barrel which can be swapped out for the original 14.5mm barrel.

Anyway, I would still like to say thanks to Robin for a good day. Honestly, in a simple post, we have managed to insinuate that a club is breaking MoD rules, bigged up a Russian pop gun and failed to encourage a bloke called Dave to shoot larger calibers anytime soon.
Sweet.

As Russian pop guns go they don't get much bigger than a PTRD.....unless it's artillery!.

The Chechen rebels were pretty handy at knocking up allsorts of homebrewed weaponry.....they became quite adept at knocking up submachine guns etc out of scrap metal.
