6P62 6P62 ( 6П62 ) is the GRAU designation of a Russia n hand - held fully automatic anti - materiel rifle chambered for the 12 . 7 x 108 mm round . At 100 meters it can penetrate up to 20 mm of RHA steel . Only one similar weapon was ever constructed , the KPB - 12 . 7 ( КПБ - 12 , 7 ) . It was intended as a hand - held machine gun . Some sources state the weapon was uncontrollable when shoulder fired in full - auto mode . The recoil - reducing system allowed this weapon to be fired from the shoulder , but it still had an insufficient reliability and an insufficient accuracy in single shots , and accurate bursts were also all but impossible from such large caliber but lightweight weapon with a limited magazine capacity . Some of these drawbacks are apparently inherited by the 6P62 , since it uses the same powerful cartridge on a similar , though little bit heavier and stabilized with a powerful muzzle brake , platform . The low magazine capacity with such weapons is apparently a constant . Having all these downsides it would be difficult to presume such weapons can be truly called a hand - held ones .
