| - The PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate II is the standard heavy sniper rifle of the French Army, sometimes known as FR-12,7 (= "Fusil à Répétition de calibre 12,7mm" = 12.7mm caliber bolt-action rifle). It is manufactured by PGM Precision of France. This is the largest weapon of the Ultima Ratio rifle family, using the .50 BMG (12.7 x 99 mm) cartridge (as used in Browning M2 heavy machine gun). Its design is the same metallic-skeleton like the other ones in this family, only scaled up. Equipped with an adjustable bipod, and a rear monopod, for maximum accuracy. The barrel is deeply fluted in order to disperse heat, and is fitted with an extremely high efficiency muzzle brake which reduces the felt recoil to about the level expected of a 7.62 × 51 mm NATO cartridge. The stock is also adjustable. It is used as an anti-materiel rifle for demolition shooting at long ranges, harassing fire and counter-sniping and the destruction of explosive ordnance (unexploded bombs or sea mines, for example) from a safe distance, with High Explosive Incendiary/Armour Piercing Ammunition (HEIAP). Standard issue scope is a SCROME J10 10-power scope.
