quote 14.9mm SOP Rifle & Cartridge The 14.9mm SOP is an incredible extra long range rifle project that a number of people at Snipers Hide have been collaborating on. The huge rifle fires a very long and heavy projectile with a high ballistic coefficient giving it extreme accuracy. It has 0.5 MOA accuracy at 3000 yards and remains supersonic out to 5400 yards (5 kilometers). The 14.9mm SOP cartridge case is formed from a 20mm Vulcan case. The 1,690 grain projectile leaves the muzzle at 3,350 fps with 42,104 ft/lbs of energy (that is not a typo!). This is almost twice the muzzle energy of the 14.5×114mm Russian and 14.5mm JDJ. It has more kinetic energy at the muzzle than a 20mm Vulcan, and far more kinetic energy downrange, although the Vulcan is carrying an explosive payload (chemical energy). The first test fire. I love seeing people push the barriers.

1) How do I buy one?

2) Is it legal?

3) If not, see question one.

Yes, please.

Just how much does one bullet cost,

Detroit iron rules all the rest are just toys.

That gun looks like it came out of an Anime cartoon. I'll bet it is banned from civilian ownership before it goes on sale or soon after.

That is a very long bullet. A regular 20mm bullet is much shorter. It is very interesting.

The 450 Rigby runs 10-15 bucks a piece.
My bet would be 40-50 bucks a shot.

Can you put a price on being able to stop a tank?

Can I get a CCW permit for one?

So is this considered a rifle or a cannon lol

So, after doing some real research, this rifle will most likely never make it to production. There's very little, if any public information beyond the first shot video from June of last year. The thread on Sniper's Hide pretty much fell to crap because of bickering and very little official information being shared.

This one is a larger caliber.
