The ASh 12.7 is a close in urban weapon usually found in a bull pup design. It is a short range design similar to the 50 Beowulf and utilizes the larger bullets 300 to 400 grains normally.

It has a rimless case that is longer than the Beowulf and It has its on case.

It is considered a 300 meter maximum distance cartridge.

It is not a sub sonic cartridge, but it could be loaded down with heaver bullets if that were your goal.

I don't know much else except that It is used buy the Russian police for house to house entry.
