AMR 15mm-This is a unusual weapon made by Steyr to knock out vulnerable high tech equipment at long ranges.  The weapon is not intended to be used against personnel that is why Steyr called it the AMR(Anti-material Rifle).  The weapon fires a special cartridge that is part plastic that carries a 5.5mm 36-gram tungsten flechette.  The flechette has a muzzle velocity of 4920 ft/sec (1500 m/sec).  At 800 meters the flechette has penetrated 40mm rolled steel armor and then shattered to give severe fragmentation damage.  The barrel is smoothbore.  The recoil force is absorbed by a long recoil movement, multi-baffle muzzle brake, and the entire barrel recoils inside a sleeve type hydro-pneumatic recoil system that is usually found on artillery not rifles.  All this cuts felt recoil to just a little more than that of a conventional service rifle. The gun comes standard with a bipod and scope.
