The Istiglal Anti-Material Rifle (also known as the Istiglal) is a recoil-operated, semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle developed by the Azerbaijani Defense Industry.

Although developed in 2008, it was only revealed in 2009 during the International Defense Exhibition Fair. Its appearance has attracted a huge number of visitors.

An Istiglal anti-material rifle in 12.7 caliber has been recently announced with plans for adoption in the Azerbaijani military and for overseas.

The Istiglal can be taken down into 2 separate components for easy transportation. The rifle is said to be operable in adverse weather such as rain and dirt with temperature ranges from 50 to -50 degrees Celsius.

50 caliber is something which will lead all new snipers in sniping missions u got only one bullet which decide your failure in missions becoz if you failed and enemy sighted where u have fired from sniper your dead 50 caliber is the answer if the bullet of 50 caliber barete hit the enemy bullet proof jacket he will not survive so 50 caliber is very efective and it also easily passes through soil walls

The Turkish Armed Forces is interested in importing the rifle and is having talks with the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.
 
@SuperFalcon, it says the استقلال is anti-material not an anti-personnel weapon. It would be too heavy to lug along for a regular sniping mission.
