Iran has the Heidar sniper rifle

[Button Pusher]

Tehran hurts its own reputation by constantly showing off fake weapons.
They could be training women to use a different rifle as shown in the article below.

The late General is at the end of the video.

I’m no long-range guy, but shortening the stock and attaching the bipod to the barrel seems counterproductive. I’m most surprised that they didn’t claim it to be effective out to a completely ridiculous range.

lol, remember that tiny plastic fighter they tried to pass off as superior to the F22 and F35?

They truly think we are all idiots; their response to the airliner shootdown is the latest example.

Agree on where the bipod is attached. I really affects point of impact.

Proof: A friend was working on accurate hand loads. He had the group down to 1" at 100yds after about the 6th round the impact shifted about 4" low. Another two shots and they were all low and the group opened up to 2-3". We looked and saw the rest was now on the barrel and not the stock. Re-positioned and the group was back to 1", on target.

Iran still flies 45- year old F-14s with 3rd world avionics. That's one reason they have to fight a proxy war: their actual military capability is garbage.

Word to the wise,

I promote and support all these kinds of activities. I think videos like this must be fully supported and not criticized in any way. I want these military forces to continue down these fruitful paths of advanced equipment and exceptional product development to meet there end goals with huge success in the vacuum they are being used in.
