IMHO this rifle has a rather unique recoil action with the barrel
moving after each round. I don't know what you properly call this
kind of action.

Although the name "Gepard" sounds French, some commenters
say that this is a Hungarian firearm.

Note that the shooter many times shoots this gun from a standing
position, which I doubt would be the usual way to engage your target.

One claim is that this gun is accurate to 1,000 yards - 914.40 meters
to non-US nations. :-)

I couldn't help but laugh at the end of that Kord video. He was just walking around with that big gun firing. Pure terminator style right there. That thing is ridiculous. :fire That snipe rifle is flippin' nice. It's as if there's no recoil on that thing. Nice vid.
