The Nasr is an Iranian 12.7x108mm anti-material rifle, designed and built by domestic Iranian defense industries.[1] The Nasr is a locally produced variant of the Russian OSV-96 anti-materiel rifle, also chambered in 12.7x108mm. The Nasr made its first appearance in photos from the 2016 IPAS exhibition but only recently was the first official announcement of the weapon.[1] The rifle is said to have significantly improved capabilities over other Iranian marksman weapons and has been adopted by the Iranian Armed Forces.[citation needed]
