Historical profile
Introduced in the mid-2010s to give NATO customers a Gepárd anti-materiel rifle chambered in standard .50 BMG instead of the Soviet 12.7×108 mm.
Its bullpup layout shortens overall length while keeping a long barrel, improving handling and transport over the M1/M2 versions.
It equips Hungarian precision units and is offered on the export market as a next-generation anti-materiel platform.
