World’s Most Powerful Sniper Rifles

hese are the most terrifying sniper rifles of all time At number 3 we have the Snipex Alligator. This thing fires a crazy cartridge that dwarfs a 50 cal bullet. It stands at 6ft 5 and has an effective range of 2km. However, it can supposedly shoot something up to 7km away, almost double the distance of the world’s longest sniper kill. You may think this is overkill because it is. Like every other sniper on this list, it’s classed as an anti material rifle with targets such as radar systems, tanks, personnel in bunkers and even jets or helicopters but Ukraine are currently using this sniper and the next one on this list in combat right now as long range personnel hunters. This brings me onto number 2, The Horizon’s Lord. This rifle currently holds the world’s longest sniper kill at a distance of 3,800m. It can fire rounds, and has an effective range of around 2500m. However, you can neck down the casing to chamber a allowing for more precise long range people hunting or even swap out the barrel to convert it to 23x115mm, truly vaporising anything in its path. Lastly at number 1 we have the20 mm Anzio. Each 20mm round fired out of this thing has almost 4 times the energy of a .50 BMG cartridge. It’s so huge it makes the Barrett M82 look like a toy gun. The rifle was actually designed to be mass produced and sold to the public meaning if you live in the US you can buy one of these monsters costing you anywhere from around $12,000 to $17,000 depending on attachments and accessories.
