Just a really small cannon. I'd be surprised if they hit anything of value.

IIRC it goes 223, 30-06. 300WM, 405 Win, 45-70, 470NE, 577NE, 20mm aircraft cannon(believe this is what most of them currently use), and the 30mm for the Gau8A in the A-10 Warthog

Wow! It's like they re-invented the Boyes AT rifle. But made it less portable! Good for them!

About as portable as a toilet! Some Marine Sniper would make short work of him and he would not see or hear the shot that lets the air out of him! The UK journalist are about as tabloid as you get! Then again for the Brits this would be a major deal since is sort of a rifle and they don't like guns much!

not useless, can think of a few things it could be handy for such as a high value target but its a hell of alot of work into what essentially would be a throw away weapon cause of the necessary barrel length for the whole thing there is only so far you could break it down, no sneaking it out in the trunk of a car or even the back of the small pickups over there....would guess that 23mm will cut through stuff that has no problem stopping a 50BMG or Soviet 14.7mm.....
