Large-caliber weapons from different countries, a hit from which not every body armor will withstand.

Deasert Eagle.50 (Israel)

This pistol has a reputation as a superweapon in amateur circles. A powerful cartridge. 50 Action Express (12.7 × 32.6 mm) - one of the most "lethal" pistol ammunition. His bullet is blunt-pointed, 20-gram, with a huge stopping effect. A shot from such a pistol will easily kill a bear. And even a heavy body armor is not able to completely protect a person: if the bullet does not pierce the steel plate, a fracture of the ribs is guaranteed.

Desert Eagle .50 pistol

In law enforcement agencies, the Desert Eagle was never able to gain widespread acceptance. It is too heavy - even unloaded it weighs about 2 kilograms and is difficult to hold. The recoil when fired is incredible force, if the grip is not strong enough, you can get a serious blow to the face. And the dimensions of the pistol are too large, the barrel length is more than 25 centimeters. But, despite the above disadvantages, a number of countries still use the Desert Eagle - the Polish GROM and the Portuguese Grupo de Operações Especiais.

H&K UMP .45 submachine gun (Germany)

This mini-machine gun is produced in three versions: the UMP 45 is the most powerful of them, the ammunition is 45 ACP (11.43x23 mm). It is characterized by a high stopping effect of a bullet, high accuracy of fire and moderate recoil. Rate of fire - 600 rounds per minute, fully loaded - 2.5 kg, which is relatively small. The firing range is 100-150 meters, the standard range for this kind of weapon.

Submachine gun H&K UMP .45

Mostly UMP 45 is used by police units in different countries. The minus of the cartridge is weak penetration, so this submachine gun is ineffective when firing at well-protected targets. However, it is ideal for combat in urban environments or in confined spaces.

Assault machine ASh-12 (Russia)

The ASh-12 large-caliber assault rifle was developed in the Tula TsKIB SOO and was adopted by the FSB special forces in 2011. Most of the information about him is classified, but even what is known about him is enough to understand that this is an automatic machine for "cleaning" the premises. The SC-130 rifle cartridge (12.7x55 mm) was specially developed for it, it weighs about 50 grams, there are several types of bullets: armor-piercing with a protruding core, shell, double-bullet with tandem placement of bullets and others. ASh-12 is a highly effective melee weapon due to the high stopping effect of the ammunition.

Assault machine ASh-12

The trigger and pistol grip of the machine are located in front of the magazine and the firing mechanism, brought forward. Thanks to this arrangement, the weapon is quite compact and bursting is more accurate. Rate of fire - up to 650 rounds per minute. The assault rifle is equipped with box magazines for 10 and 20 rounds - this is enough for close combat. Among the disadvantages of the ASh-12 is a large weight (6 kilograms) and impressive dimensions - more than a meter in length.

Sniper rifle Truevelo SR 20x110mm (South Africa)

Not every large-caliber sniper rifle has the same cartridge as the Truvelo SR (20x110mm). This ammunition was created in the 1930s in Spain, it was used as a projectile for firing anti-aircraft artillery installations. However, in South Africa, they "adjusted" a sniper's guilt under him.

Sniper rifle Truevelo SR 20x110mm

The firing range is 2 kilometers (of course, subject to the high skills of the shooter). Not a single body armor will protect against a shot from the Truvelo SR, even an armored personnel carrier is capable of disabling it.

The rifle has drawbacks: it is single-shot, has impressive dimensions (about 2 meters in length) and weighs 25 kilograms, and the tripod on which the Truvelo SR is attached weighs another 10 kilograms. And if the rifle demonstrates itself perfectly in defense, then you won't take it on a raid.

Heavy machine gun "Kord" (Russia)

This machine gun today is the main Russian weapon against soldiers and lightly armored vehicles of any enemy. It was created in the 90s as a replacement for the NSV "Utes", which has proven itself well in Afghanistan. However, unlike its predecessor, "Kord" is lighter, more accurate and more compact. The body of the machine gun weighs 25 kilograms, the tape for 50 rounds (12.7x108 millimeters) - 7.7 kilograms. It can be used both from a bipod (7 kilograms) and from a tripod (16 kilograms). For example, the American Browning M2 (12.7x99 millimeters), which the US Army has been using since 1933, weighs about 60 kilograms with the bed. So our "Kord" is just a fluff.

Heavy machine gun "Kord"

The firing range is up to 1500-2000 meters, the defeat of air targets at oblique ranges is up to one and a half kilometers. The weapon can be equipped with optical or night sights. There is also a tank version of the machine gun: it is installed in an anti-aircraft turret on the T-90 turret.

MOSCOW, December 30 - RIA Novosti, Andrey Kots. Large-caliber small arms are rightfully considered one of the most solid "arguments" of the warring parties on the battlefield. Large weight, strong recoil, powerful cartridge and impressive dimensions - not every body armor can withstand a direct hit from the "pocket artillery" of a modern infantryman. Only a skilled fighter can master these super barrels. RIA Novosti publishes a selection of the most lethal large-caliber small arms in the world.

Bear gun

Israeli pistol Desert Eagle caliber .50 is well known to all those who are keen on Western action films and computer games. This huge, angular cannon with a fearsome appearance has a reputation as a superweapon in amateur circles. Mainly because of the powerful .50 Action Express cartridge (12.7x32.6 mm), which is considered one of the most lethal pistol ammunition in the world. It has a heavy 20 gram blunt bullet with tremendous stopping power. With the "Desert Eagle", you can, roughly speaking, go out on a bear alone. Yes, and against a person protected by a heavy body armor, he can do it - if the bullet does not pierce the steel plate, then the ribs will definitely break.

However, the Desert Eagle could not get really widespread in the power structures. First, this pistol is too heavy. Even "empty" it weighs about two kilograms, which makes it difficult to hold it correctly. Secondly, each shot is accompanied by a monstrous recoil - if the grip is not strong enough, the pistol can easily hit an unlucky shooter in the face. Thirdly, the fiftieth "Eagle" is too bulky - the length of its barrel exceeds 25 centimeters. These and a number of other shortcomings became the reason that a beautiful and powerful pistol was never accepted into service as an army weapon. Nevertheless, the Desert Eagle is used by special forces from a number of countries, such as the Polish GROM and the Portuguese Grupo de Operações Especiais.

Slaughter mini-machine gun

The compact UMP submachine gun from the German concern Heckler & Koch is available in three versions - for different cartridges. The most powerful - UMP 45 - is loaded with ammunition. 45 ACP (11.43x23 mm). It combines high stopping action of a bullet, moderate recoil and high accuracy of fire. The UMP 45 has an impressive rate of fire - about 600 rounds per minute, and when loaded, it weighs relatively little - 2.5 kilograms. The firing range is a standard range for submachine guns of 100-150 meters.

UMP 45 is used mainly by police special forces in a number of countries. Cartridge 45. ACP has good stopping, but rather weak penetration. Therefore, shooting at well-protected targets with this submachine gun is ineffective. At the same time, the UMP is ideal for combat in urban conditions or on buildings - its light weight, modest dimensions and ample opportunities for "tuning" make it indispensable when working in tight spaces.

Machine for "stripping"

The Russian large-caliber assault machine ASh-12, developed in the Tula TsKIB SOO, was adopted by the FSB special forces in 2011. Most of the information about the design and experience of the combat use of this weapon is kept secret (as, indeed, the data on many other exclusive barrels "Alpha" and "Vympel"). But even what is known is enough to declare: ASh-12 is a real "cleaner" of premises. A rifle cartridge SC-130 (12.7x55 mm) weighing about 50 grams with several types of bullets was specially developed for this weapon: armor-piercing with a protruding core, shell, two-bullet with tandem placement of bullets, etc. It is due to the high stopping effect of the ammunition that the ASh machine gun The -12 is a highly effective melee weapon.

The machine itself is built according to the "bullpup" scheme, in which the trigger and pistol grip are moved forward and are located in front of the magazine and the percussion mechanism. This scheme made it possible to make the weapon more compact and more accurate when firing bursts. And the fire of the ASh-12 is fast - up to 650 rounds per minute. The assault rifle is equipped with box magazines for 10 and 20 rounds - not much, but enough for close combat. The disadvantages of the weapon include its large weight - six kilograms, as well as impressive dimensions - more than a meter in length.

Cannon with a telescopic sight

The world market for large-caliber sniper rifles is quite extensive and has dozens of worthy representatives. However, not all of them can boast of the same serious cartridge as the South African Truvelo SR (20x110 millimeters). Initially, this ammunition, created in Spain in the 30s of the last century, was used for firing from anti-aircraft artillery installations - that is, in fact, it was not a cartridge, but a projectile. Gunsmiths from South Africa were able to "fit" an individual sniper weapon under it.

A skilled shooter with the Truvelo SR 20x110 mm can hit a target at a distance of two kilometers. A powerful cartridge-projectile penetrates any of the existing body armor and is capable of disabling even an armored personnel carrier. However, the sniper will have to put up with the shortcomings of this mini-gun. First, the SR is a single shot rifle. It will not be possible to quickly hit the target with several shots from it. Secondly, this weapon weighs as much as 25 kilograms, while the shooter (or his partner) needs to carry on himself not only the "barrel", but also a 10-kilogram tripod on which the rifle itself is attached. Thirdly, the SR is too bulky - almost two meters in length. You can't take such a "fool" into a raid on the rear. However, in defense, such a rifle can seriously weaken the morale of the advancing enemy.

Heavy's Dream

The Kord heavy machine gun is today one of the most powerful arguments of the Russian infantry against lightly armored vehicles and soldiers of any potential enemy. This weapon was created in the 90s as a replacement for the NSV "Utes", which has proven itself in Afghanistan. "Kord" is much lighter, more accurate and more compact. For its "weight category" - generally a fluff. The body of the machine gun weighs 25 kilograms, the tape for 50 rounds (12.7x108 millimeters) - 7.7 kilograms. In addition, the weapon can be used from a bipod (seven kilograms) or from a tripod machine (16 kilograms). For comparison, the famous American Browning M2 (12.7x99 millimeters), which has been in service with the US Army since 1933, weighs about 60 kilograms with the bed.

"Kord" is designed to combat lightly armored targets and fire weapons, destroy enemy personnel at ranges of up to 1500-2000 meters and engage air targets at slant ranges of up to one and a half kilometers. For the convenience of the machine gunner and to improve the accuracy of shooting, the weapon can be equipped with optical or night sights. In addition to the infantry version, there is also a tank one. It is installed in an anti-aircraft turret on the T-90 turret.

Unfortunately, humanity is accustomed to destroying its own kind and therefore has invented a huge number of ways to kill itself. Let's try to remember the most destructive of them and talk about the most powerful weapon in the world.

In the first place on this list, of course, is the thermonuclear Tsar Bomb, created by Academician Sakharov and with which Khrushchev tried to intimidate America. By the way, successfully. For its tests shocked not only the Americans, but also the USSR, because no one expected such a scale. When tested on Novaya Zemlya, the blast wave circled the globe three times. This happened on January 16, 1963, and until now humanity has not come up with anything more terrifying.

Tsar-Bomba AN-602

Compared to Tsar Bomba, the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki are just toys. However, it is worth noting that if no one was injured in the explosion of a Soviet thermonuclear bomb, the Americans killed several hundred people in August 1945 immediately at the time of the explosions, and in total about 140 thousand people died, including the effects of radiation.

In addition, there is also a neutron bomb, developed by the American scientist Samuel Cohen, which does not damage the infrastructure, but destroys only living objects.

Unfortunately, among the deadliest weapons, there is also chemical and biological. If the chemical was used in the First World War, when Germany first used chlorine against enemy troops, and then mustard gas, now chemical weapons can almost instantly destroy several thousand people. Biological weapons are equally dangerous. Everyone remembers how the anthrax envelopes were sent out. But these were pinpoint strikes, and in the case of mass use, much more dire consequences are possible.

However, we are now talking about weapons that can be delivered using intercontinental missiles. Therefore, we need to figure it out. We have a ballistic missile (Satana) in service. This missile has already hit the Guinness Book of Records as the most powerful intercontinental range missile.

R-36M2 "Voyevoda" or SS-18 Satan III

Despite the fact that the most powerful weapons in the world are weapons of mass destruction, let's turn our attention to the "private sector". Here, perhaps, the McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifles can be considered the most effective. It was with the help of them that the most record-breaking shots in terms of range were fired, exceeding the mark of 2300 meters. Moreover, more than once.

Adding to the list of the most powerful weapons, one cannot ignore the well-known Desert Eagle. This pistol has become just a classic thanks to the action movies. It has tremendous destructive and stopping power against unprotected targets, but in fact, except for its size, unfortunately, it is not able to surprise you with anything.

However, despite the above, the Death Star can be considered the undisputed leader in terms of the most destructive weapons. After all, as any Star Wars fan knows, she can shatter the planet into billions of pieces in a matter of seconds. So let's hope that humanity will never have to create its real embodiment.


And may the force be with you!
