Brazil's armed drug dealers have always been rampant, and there are often reports that the weapons of these drug dealers are stronger than the local police, with a skeptical attitude, I thought that Brazilian drug dealers had at most a few more automatic weapons, which is not a new thing, until I saw the following "orc-level" weapon!
▲Orc submachine gun
You read that right, this is a homemade submachine gun seized by the Brazilian police from drug dealers, because the manufacturing process is relatively rough, what gas guide structure and locking convex mortise don't think, this is a simple recoil automatic structure of the submachine gun, purely relying on the backward force of gunpowder detonation to push the bolt recoil.
And look at the huge bullets on the table and the amazing magazine size of this submachine gun, yes, this is an undiscounted, genuine .50BMG caliber, recoil submachine gun, without a body of tendon flesh may not be able to hold up a magazine!
For submachine guns that usually use pistol bullets, Brazilian drug dealers did the opposite, loading .50BMG bullets for Barrett and M2 heavy machine guns, and in the era when regular soldiers were lying down and firing .50 caliber snipers with muzzle brakes, the drug dealers did not even design a stock for this .50 submachine gun, purely hand-held volleys!
Brazilian drug dealers seem to know the truth that "caliber is justice", doing the dirtiest business but handling the largest caliber weapons, you will find that Brazilian drug dealers as long as they are homemade light weapons, basically try to get .50 caliber, such as the following .50 caliber homemade bolt-action rifle.

▲ Perhaps in the eyes of Brazilian drug traffickers, those below .50 are small cannons
If it is not good, the M2 heavy machine gun will be cut, and it will be used as a submachine gun! According to Brazilian police, drug traffickers used a large number of .50-caliber weapons, which were a strong threat when attacking police armored vehicles.
Addicted to large-caliber is not only Brazilian drug traffickers, some time ago the Ukrainian army also captured a 12.7mm caliber "VKS" microacoustic sniper rifle of the Russian army, the typical symbol of which is a large and long silencer, only a small amount equipped with the Russian Federal Security Service.
Russian VKS sniper rifles captured by the Ukrainian army
Seeing this sniper rifle may not be surprising, 12.7mm sniper rifles are available in countries around the world, it is not surprising, but what many people don't know is that this VKS sniper rifle also has a variant, is a 12.7mm caliber assault rifle, called ASh-12.7 assault rifle. The ASh-12.7 assault rifle was developed by the KBP Design Bureau at the request of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia, and is actually part of a large-caliber assault rifle system dedicated to close combat, later modified as the Shak-12 assault rifle system, accompanied by a range of special ammunition.
The original intention of developing the Shak-12 assault rifle system was the 2004 Beslan hostage incident, which killed 330 civilians in the fighting, so the FSB wanted to have a powerful weapon that was best shot to immediately incapacitate terrorists, while reducing collateral damage outside the target, in short, requiring a good stop, both people and bullets.
Therefore, in order to avoid the Russian special forces in an emergency an RPG to rescue the hostages from the world, the Shak-12 assault rifle was born, which is actually a gospel for hostages, and the well-known Kalashnikov company is responsible for the manufacture of the gun.
In order to facilitate CQB operations, the Shak-12 assault rifle still continues the bullpup layout of VKS, and even the size is shortened, using the principle of short barrel recoil and rotary latching, and the short recoil of the barrel can reduce the recoil caused by large-caliber bullets to a certain extent. Although it will lead to a decrease in accuracy, what more bike is needed for a 12.7 caliber CQB assault rifle? Although it is a 12.7 caliber, KBP Design Bureau, as an old design bureau, must be quite sane compared to Brazilian drug traffickers, it is impossible to use the .50BMG as an assault rifle bullet, KBP based on VKS's SC-130 series sniper shells (12.7×54mm), for the Shak-12 series of ×rifle cartridges.
The upper two are Shak-12 ammunition, and the lower ones are 7.62x39
Shak-12 ammunition includes PD-12 (double-ended bullet), PS-12A (aluminum core bullet), PS-12 (subsonic bullet) and PS-12B (steel core armor-piercing bullet), according to different mission requirements can choose different ammunition, although compared to .50BMG is a little smaller, but the charge is much larger than ordinary gun shells.
The Shak-12 comes standard with a PS-12A aluminum core bullet, which is not only heavy but even semi-armored, which means that after the bullet enters the enemy's body, it will deform and "bloom", and the stop effect is comparable to textbook level.
The reason for the development of this ammunition is that the Russian anti-terrorist forces found that terrorists often take drugs, and after bumping, regardless of whether it is 7.62 of AKM or 5.45 of AK74, after hitting the body, these addicts can even continue to fight for half an hour, so they simply come to a ruthless shot, a shot in place!
But the PS-12A also has obvious disadvantages, that is, the effective range is only 100 meters, can only be used for CQB, and because it is semi-armored, the tip of the bullet is a soft lead core, if you face targets with body armor or hiding behind armored bunkers, it is a little weak.
So at this time, it is necessary to let the PS-12B (steel core armor-piercing bullet) on the field, the warhead weight of this bullet is almost three times that of the PS-12A, can penetrate 16mm thick steel plate or Russian standard five-level armor, and such ammunition can hold 20 rounds in a magazine, and can also be fully automatic fire, no drug dealer can carry it.
The power is so fierce, some people worry about whether the recoil of the Shak-12 will be very large, in fact, this 12.7 caliber assault rifle not only has the above short barrel recoil to slow down the recoil, the muzzle also has a brake, and this gun is very heavy, the empty gun weighs 5.2kg, so the actual somatosensory recoil is not even as good as the recoil of an SVD sniper rifle.
Shak-12 is a rare 12.7 caliber military standard weapon, which can really come in handy on the battlefield, but in the civilian population, there is no need to consider various factors on the battlefield, and there are many large-caliber weapons with big brains.
For example, the thunder .50 pistol, which is more of an iron stove with a handle, this pistol can not be fired in bursts and has no magazine, using breech loading method, the muzzle is equipped with a high-efficiency brake and it is on sale. This pistol can be called a wrist reaper, it is strongly recommended that those who are not strong enough do not try it easily, this is not the "gadget" of the Desert Eagle that fires .50AE. However, even if the thunder .50 pistol hits the Zeliska runner, you have to shout big brother!
▲ Dude, this is a good thing!
As a revolver, the Zeliska weighs heavier than the Shak-12 assault rifle mentioned above, fires .600 Nitro Express shells thicker than .50 caliber, and must be supported by a base when fired, but there are also ruthless people who try to shoot with one hand, but put it down after posing for a while.
In fact, now the phrase "caliber is justice" can only be half, the stopping effect of small-caliber guns is actually better, but as the price of bulletproof inserts is getting lower and lower, the level of development of bulletproof materials is getting higher and higher, and the caliber of guns and bullets in the future will also change between the continuous attack and defense between the spear and the shield
