The Hécate II is the standard heavy sniper rifle and anti-materiel rifle of the French Army, sometimes known as the FR-12.7 (French: Fusil à Répétition de calibre 12.7 mm or "12.7 mm calibre repeating rifle"). It is manufactured by PGM Précision of France. This is the largest weapon manufactured by PGM, chambered for the .50 BMG (12.7×99mm NATO) cartridge. The name of the rifle is derived from the ancient Greek goddess Hecate.

Design

Its design is the same metallic-skeleton as used in other similar rifles in the PGM family, only scaled up. The barrel of the Hécate is manufactured by FN Herstal and is lined with Stellite alloy which is also used for large calibre machine guns. This increases the barrel's longevity.[2] It is fitted with a high-efficiency muzzle brake which reduces the felt recoil to about the level expected of a 7.62×51mm NATO-chambered rifle.[3] The rifle is equipped with both an adjustable front bipod and a rear monopod for maximum accuracy. The stock is also adjustable. The Hecate II was a heavy firearm and weighs up to 35.27 pounds at most.

The standard-issue sight used with the Hécate II is the SCROME LTE J10 F1 10× telescope.[citation needed]

In popular culture

The anti-materiel rifle in the video game Fallout: New Vegas is heavily influenced by the design of the Hécate II.[4] Although the rifle is not widely used in the United States, the choice to use it was primarily aesthetic, as explained by Fallout: New Vegas's game director Josh Sawyer: "I based the anti-materiel rifle on the Hécate II because honestly I was/am sick of seeing Barretts in games and I think the Hécate II looks better."[5]

The Hecate II is also the preferred weapon of Sinon (Shino Asada), a character in season two of the anime Sword Art Online (2012), referred to in series as the "PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate II".[6]
