| Description |
| The
NTW-20 is a South African anti-materiel rifle or
large-calibre sniper rifle, developed by Denel's
Mechem division in the 1990s. The weapon was designed
by Tony Neophytou and intended for deployment against
a wide variety of targets, including parked aircraft,
telecommunication masts, power lines, missile sites,
radar installations, refineries, satellite dishes,
gun emplacements, bunkers and personnel, using a
range of specialized projectiles. The NTW-20 in
20 x 110 calibre is a new version of the weapon.
The accurate high explosive capability makes it
extremely effective in the counter-sniping role,
where indiscriminate fire from weapons such as mortars
and rocket launchers is completely unacceptable.
The new NTW 20 are now offered in 20 x 110 mm Hispano
calibre. This calibre is highly efficient in terms
of velocity, penetration and target effect.

| Design |
| The
efficient recoil management system reduces
the high velocity recoil, making the system
very user friendly without tactical restrictions.
The recoil system consists of an efficient
muzzle brake, a spring buffer and a hydraulic
damper. The barreled action is free to recoil
in the frame of the weapon. NTW-20 is a
manually operated, rotating bolt action
rifle. The barrel is locked by the rotating
bolt that has 6 lugs. The barrel along with
the receiver could recoil inside the chassis
frame against combined hydraulic and pneumatic
damping system. Large two-chamber muzzle
brake also helps to keep recoil at the acceptable
level. NTW-20 is fed from the detachable
box magazine, that is inserted from the
left side and holds 3 rounds.
