As in, penetrate the armor, set s fuze and explode inside
To fire through cover, you would need a much bigger gun.
how you’d fire at a enemy in cover without the system accidentally picking a tree or a wall and exploding prematurely
Wikipedia article I linked has an explanation: the shells measure travelled distance by counting their rotations and explode when reaching the desired distance. They don’t directly sense the obstacles.

OH

I’m so sorry my man I beg your pardon, I didn’t open your page and immediately assumed you were talking about the Barrett XM109 or the XM307 Advanced Crew Served Weapon (ACSW). I’m so sorry man, I admit I was at fault, didn’t open the Wikipedia link Dx

Yep, the Denel Systems would be the Neopup (cute name) PAW-20, I think, unless you mean the Denel NTW-20

The Ukrainians are also developing the RGSh-30 grenade launcher

That is ingenius. And in modern warfare, the sniper may be guided by drones or radar to point at the target direction. And the rifle automatically programs the shell with information provided by radar/drones/satellite via the command center server. This particular project may not succeed bur smart firearms are now becoming a thing.

To not mention that the ones supposed to use these kind of weaponry are, as far as I read; Kim Jong Un’s personal guards and special forces, both of which seem really bad to have a jam in the first place.
But at least it seems decently workable. I’m not sure if the same can be said about their ‘Anti Tank Grenade Launcher/AT Rifle’:



Rifle grenade appeared in WW1, pioneered by the Brits. Then in WW2 the Japs used it in large scale. And now Japs are also using it as an anti-tank weapon.
The concept became obsolete when RPG and M72 LAW came out. They are easier to load. And if you have to fire grenade with a rifle, there are under-barrel grenade launchers like the M203.

Because of the diversity of terrain, there are many places in the world where tanks and armed vehicles cannot reach, and where calvaries can still be useful, at least in patrol.
Here’s a PLA calvary lieutenant with a 95 Carbine.

Hey, I don’t know if this question should goes here, but does anyone know if the silver thing on Anton Chigurh’s Remington 1187 is a silencer or suppressor? *I am still new to guns!*

@synthfen
Did a bit of lookaround. In English context, “silencer” and “suppressor” both refer to sound-reducing muzzle device. The recoil compensator is called “muzzle brake”.
But in Chinese language, “suppressor” is often referred to as muzzle brake so I got confused as well.

There is also the flash suppressor, which mainly reduces muzzle flame and can be confused with muzzle brake.

I believe machine pistols are just regular pistols with auto functionality (often with optionally attached or folded stock). SMGs are purpose-designed for auto fire and have a stock (even though it may be foldable/collapsible). They often have a front grip, handguard, or other area meant to be gripped with support hand. Usually also the magazine well is positioned forward of the grip, though not always. Their sights are usually bigger and better for precise aiming at distances above 50 meters.
I just looked at Wikipedia and it also mentions the distinction may be blurred for some guns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_pistol#Comparison_with_compact_submachine_guns

Are underwater functional firearms common with Military troops that operate around the ocean or areas that tend to have multiple large bodies of water present?

Usually only divers have those. Regular water-adjacent troops will only have guns with over-the-beach (OTB) capability, which is basically being able to shoot immediately when taken out of the water.
