RT-20 (rifle)

Small Arms And Sidearms

The RT-20 is a Croatian bullpup anti-materiel rifle developed by Metallic in Rijeka in the mid-1990s and marketed by RH-Alan. Its name is an acronym of the Croatian Rucni Top 20, or Hand Cannon 20mm; it operates with a bolt action, houses a single 20mm round and must be reloaded after every shot, and given its large caliber is among the most powerful anti-materiel rifles in use by any country, comparable to the South African Denel NTW-20 and the Indian Vidhwansak.
