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.

The massive power delivered by this caliber makes 12.7x108mm an extremely powerful round in the game; it is actually the second most powerful, right behind the .50 BMG, both of them being originally heavy machine gun rounds. A single shot will kill an undeniable amount of targets, if not severely damage it. Such power is highly sought for in Mazeworld, and is highly desirable for both the contestant, but also his/her enemies.
This caliber is extremely rare and expensive: it is compatible with only two weapons, and can only be found at random in boxes of 20 rounds. It is also prohibitively expensive: Found in gun shops and weapon shops for 25 P$ per round, it is also the second most expensive firearm cartridge of the game.
