At 26 inches long, the Stealth Recon Scout by Desert Tech is the shortest sniper rifle you'll ever see. Thanks to the same bullpup design made famous by FN Herstal's P90 sub-machine, it's nearly a foot shorter than conventional sniper rifles.

The design places the gun's feeding mechanism in the buttstock, behind the grip and the trigger. This allows for a shorter overall weapon for the given barrel length while maintaining all the advantages of a traditional sniper rifle.

The Stealth Recon Scout is also versatile in that it can be adapted to individual mission requirements by changing the caliber and length. It can be adapted for use by a police sniper shooting 50 yards away or a military sniper shooting a mile down range. Learn more about this innovative weapon in the video below.
