MK107

The MK107 is a semi-automatic, recoil-operated anti-materiel precision rifle designed by the Panamoan conglomerate Albino Ordinance. Despite its designation as an anti-material rifle, it can also be used as an anti-personnel system; a heavy, large caliber sniper rifle.
==Design==
The is a short-recoil semi-automatic firearm. When the rifle is fired, the barrel initially recoils for a short distance (about 1 inch (25 mm)), while being securely locked by the rotating bolt. After the short travel, the lower part of the accelerator arm, held by the receiver upper part, is already hinged in the bolt carrier and the middle portion strikes it back to the barrel by a rod placed in the bolt carrier, transferring part of the recoil energy of the barrel to the bolt to achieve reliable cycling and unlock it from the barrel. The bolt is unlocked by turning in the curved cam track in the bolt carrier. Then the barrel is stopped by the combined effect of the accelerator, buffer spring, and the muzzle brake and the bolt continues back, to extract and eject a spent case. On its return stroke, the bolt strips the fresh cartridge from the box magazine and feeds it into the chamber and finally locks itself to the barrel. The striker is also cocked on the return stroke of the bolt. The gun is fed from a large, detachable box magazine holding up to ten rounds, although a rare twelve-round magazine was developed for use during Operation Desert Storm in 1995.
The receiver is made from two parts (upper and lower), made from casted 9090 Titanium Alloys and connected by cross-pins. The heavy barrel is fluted to improve heat dissipation and save weight, and fitted with a large and effective reactive muzzle brake. The muzzle brakes on the earlier models had a round cross-section; later MK107 rifles are equipped with two-chamber brakes of rectangular cross-section.
