The Type 10 heavy caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle, designed by the People's Liberation Army, made its debut in a recent nationwide sniper contest and drill. With a 12.7-millimeter caliber and an effective firing range of 1.5 kilometers, the rifle weighs 13 kilograms, and is equipped with a specially designed laser aiming system that can automatically help the shooter adjust his aim. Experts said it can shoot helicopters, light armored vehicles and radars, some 1 km away.
