Historical profile
Developed by Norinco as a next-generation anti-materiel platform for the PLA, building on lessons learned from the earlier AMR-2 and M99.
Publicly unveiled in the late 2010s, it integrates Picatinny rails, a high-efficiency muzzle brake and an adjustable bipod for precision fire out to 1500 meters.
Chambered in 12.7×108 mm, it supports armor-piercing, incendiary and explosive ammunition fielded by the PLA.
