Description
Navy Sniper Heavy Anti-Material Weapon system concept design suitable for calibers 40mm to 100mm rounds. Image portrayed as if captured by high speed camera.
The lever next to the trigger (looks like a pedal lever borrowed from a bicycle) loads and cocks another round and is the portion of the red colour connecting rods that moves with the recoil of the gun, like the pistol grip. The firer (an Allied Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant here) must take precautions to position both hands, wrists and arms in line to avoid injury.
The white scope is fixed to the rest of the red coloured connecting rods are connected to the bipod and maintain the position of white scope nearest to the firer so it doesn't smash into the firer's face as the rest of the monster gun undergoes massive recoil.
The orange scope further in front is fixed onto the gun's picatinny rail and part of the original manufacturer's design. The white scope would come in with advanced computing systems hardwired into the Hammerhead's motion, ambient temperature, altitude, air density, and humidity sensors as well as position in relation to the planet's latitude and longitude as these affect bullet and flight path trajectory.
The Weapon System will use a different scope system together with the default orange scope when used on an Allied Battleship with its unique conditions and also may use different pixelated camouflage (flanking the aircraft carrier here on either side):
The same red connecting rods have springs to absorb about 30% of the recoil energy. Their position in relation to the support bipod means they exert a pulling force.
The barrel absorbs about 60% of the recoil energy in the same way as a barrel in a Barrett .50cal works, by sliding back like a tank gun. The butt stock with the 2 light orange piston rods absorbs the rest.
In this alternate universe, rounds use unique alloys using mixtures not known in our world. The standard base metals however are like ours. The shell travels at hypersonic speeds thanks to equally advanced gunpowder and barrel rifling techniques. The alloy is such so the heat build up does not soften the shell and lose aerodynamic profile and speed. The heated round melts through enemy armour more easily and delivers its killing power.
The blue, grey and dark red walls are in cross section cut-away mode and show the multi-tiered lattice and spider-web network of post tension rods that make up armour of the Flying Battleship, and so is the rotating support platform that the Ultra Heavy Anti-Material Rifle and its firer is supported on and is responsible for aiming the gun at target. The rest are portrayed as normal without cutaway.
Flying Battleship:
Possible locations would be somewhere near the rear turret, or near the nose of the gun. The craft may carry one on both port and starboard, and similar arrangement for Battleships.
A Barret .50 cal (12.7mm) generates enough shockwaves from firing to kick up dust in a small room, so it would be expected that a larger caliber rifle would have a powerful report that would shake up the immediate area.
