Ukrainian Snipex LASKA K-2 Heavy Machine Gun
Yesterday, we took a look at the new Snipex Monomakh anti-material rifle released by this Ukrainian company at the Arms and Security 2021 exhibition recently held in Kyiv, Ukraine. Besides this expansion of their anti-materiel rifle line, the company has also introduced a new belt-fed heavy machine gun chambered in 12.7x108mm. The new HMG is called Laska K-2. It does look similar to the M2 Browning machine gun but many key design elements are completely different. Let’s take a closer look.

The company continues expanding their 14.5mm anti-materiel rifle line and during the Arms and Security 2021 exhibition introduced a semi-auto 14.5x114mm anti-materiel rifle called Snipex Monomakh.

Ukrainian Snipex Alligator 14.5114mm Anti-Materiel Rifle
Snipex, a Ukrainian company specialized in designing and manufacturing anti-materiel rifles, has recently announced the release of a new rifle called Alligator. If you recall, about a year ago, we reported about their T-Rex rifle. Both the T-Rex and Alligator are bolt action rifles chambered in 14.5x114mm and apparently share a lot of design elements. The major difference is that T-Rex is a single-shot rifle, while the Snipex Alligator is a magazine-fed one.

The model name is given because of the very powerful cartridge and the distinctive shape of the rear monopod that reminds the legs of Tyrannosaurus Rex.
XADO Chemical Group SNIPEX .50BMG "Rhino Hunter"
