From Mazeworld

The 12.7x108mm is a heavy machine gun caliber developed in 1930 by the Soviet Union. It entered service in the Red Army and first saw action during the Winter War.

Real-life data

Developed to fulfill the same role as the American .50 BMG, the 12.7x108mm caliber was primarily invented as a heavy machine gun round, for use on the ground such as machine guns or anti-aircraft cannons, or in aircraft mounted guns. It was later adopted as a long-range, anti-matériel caliber much like the .50 BMG.

Contrary to popular belief, 12.7x108mm and .50 BMG differ in shape and weight, allowing the former to use different powder types and loads than its NATO counterpart. This misunderstanding led the Soviet-made caliber to even be nicknamed .51 caliber or .511 caliber, which is incorrect.

The caliber is used by former Warsaw Pact countries nowadays, such as Russia, but also other countries like Hungary, Finland, India and more.
