While the South African manufactured NTW-20 is offered in 20x110mm, the two primary calibers the NTW 20 is offered in are the proprietary 20x82mm and 14.5x114mm (the KPV/ZPU-2 cartridge). Armored and soft targets can be engaged by the NTW 20 using the quick change-over between barrel and ammunition types. The high explosive capability of the 20x82mm makes it extremely effective in a counter-sniping role and against mortar and rocket launcher emplacements. The efficient recoil management system reduces the high velocity recoil thus making the system very user-friendly without tactical restrictions. The recoil system consists of an efficient muzzle brake, a spring buffer and a hydraulic damper. The barreled action is free to recoil in the frame of the weapon. (www.denellandsystems.co.za)
