Weapons: The FBI to Purchase The Anzio Mag-Fed 20mm Rifle

Filed under: Law Enforcement,Weapons — Tags: , , , , , — Matt @ 8:35 AM

   Thanks to Matt for sending me this one.  Wow, what a weapon!  This is the kind of rifle marine contractors could use on a boat.  That, along with the Neopup that Eeben introduced us to, and now we are talking about a pretty lethal capability. (the Neopup uses 20 mm x 42)

   What makes 20 mm x 102 Vulcan round stand out, is that it can deliver a round at distance, and then the explosive charge is what provides the knock down power and destruction (chemical energy). The .50 cal. is mostly dependent on the kinetic force of the bullet to do all of that.  So that thing needs velocity to knock stuff down. (kinetic energy)  Although there are explosive tipped .50 cal rounds out there, I don’t think there is anything with the kind of energy that the 20 mm Vulcan can produce. Not to mention all of the interesting rounds that come in 20 mm.

     I guess you could always go bigger, but the idea here is something you can transport easily that could be managed by a small team.  This rifle falls under that category in my opinion.

     Here are the particulars of the contract, and I have no idea what the FBI plans on doing with these things.  They are probably using them for testing purposes, and also for having some kind of niche capability.  This would be a fantastic tool for taking out a generator at distance, or maybe taking out a vehicle or boat at distance.  It is definitely anti-material if you know what I mean.

     The paint schemes might be an indicator of what they have planned.  The Navy NWV digital pattern could mean they want a gun for maritime purposes? Who knows, and maybe someone from the FBI can give us the low down?  Check out the video of this beast in action as well. –Matt
