Hamas’ al-Kassem military wing proudly unveiled its new long-range sniper rifle which they report is manufactured in Gaza. The weapon is named after a terrorist of course, Adnan al-Ghoul, hence the gun is called the Ghoul (Monster).
According to the Channel 2 report, the weapon has an impressive 14.5mm barrel and measures close to two meters in length and carried a telescopic sight. The weapon is designed to strike a target up to 2km (1.2 miles).
According to reports from Gaza, the weapon has already been used to kill IDF soldiers in Operation Protective Edge.

Bomb the am mom factory
The metal marbles found in the Turkish humanitarian aid shipment “for the chocolate making machine in Gaza” a few days ago was precisely for this. Hopefully Israel drowned all humanitarian aid coming from Turkey.
Seems like the only thing these GAZIAN MONSTERS are able to manufacture, are solely killing devices in one form or another.
Metal marbles are called ball bearings. And unless has developed some kind of revolutionary new firearms technology that allows you to fire projectiles out of gun without gunpowder, one cannot shoot ball bearings from a rifle: that requires, in addition to a projectile, a shell casing filled with propellant, and a primer to ignite the propellant.
Sheesh
More than likely, they are using actual ammunition, specifically the 14.5x114mm heavy machine gun/anti-materiel round used by Russia. It is also unlikely that Hamas “developed” this weapon. It is probably a Shaher, a sniper rifle Iran developed around the 14.5mm round. There are several other possible candidates as well, made or used in (in no specific order) South Africa, India, Pakistan, Cuba, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Croatia, North Korea, China, Sudan and Russia.
Take your pic, but “metal marbles?” LOL I don’t think so.
