RAWALPINDI – The country’s premier weapon factory has equipped the national armed forces with the first indigenous ‘Made in Pakistan’ sniper rifle, PakistanTribe proudly reported.

The Chairman of Pakistan Ordinance Factory (POF) Lieutenant General Mohamma Ahsan Mahmood proudly announced on Thursday that the manufacturing of country’s first sniper rifle was completed.

“We have manufactured the first sniper rifle at POF. Previously all sniper rifles used by security forces were imported from abroad. Now Alhamdulillah we can export Made in Pakistan sniper rifle to other countries,’ Ahsan told correspondent.

One of the technical staff at POF informed PakistanTribe‘s correspondent that this sniper rifle was a result of hi-tech capability of Ordinance Factory. “A powerful lens with night vision technology makes its use easier both in day and night times engagements. Now they can trace and target the hidden enemy with a weapon made in their own country,” he added

Commendable development. Does it use a 7.62 NATO round or a 5.56 NATO?

Here's the Indian equivalent of the .50 Cal.

Vidhwansak.

Uses 14.5x114mm and 12.7x108mm rounds, is essentially an anti-materiel sniper rifle and has an effective range of 1.8km.

This thing isnt new, I have seen members post this before. Marksmen G3 basically.

Congrats. Looks utterly badass. Viddhanswak is not a good comparison as it is more of an anti material sniper. Hitting men with it will cause them to pretty much explode or leave them with gaping holes.

Look above.

This isn't the sniper Pakistani commander was talking about.

This is a file photo.

The Pakistani sniper is to be revealed during upcoming IDEAS defence exhibition.

Mubarak ho sirjee

I got a bad feeling about this. It may be disappointing!
