The case is rimless and bottlenecked, of brass or varnished steel and Berdan primed. The standard bullet is a flat-based armour-piercing/incendiary pattern with a steel core inside a steel jacket with gilding metal envelope. The core is shorter than the jacket and the space at the front is filled with incendiary composition. This cartridge was originally developed for the Degtyarev DK heavy machine gun in the late 1920s, and like its US equivalent the 0.50 Browning , leaned heavily upon the German 13 mm TuF round
for its inspiration. It was then used for the Degtyarev DShK series of guns and has remained in use to the present, being widely distributed. Manufacture has taken place at various times in China , Czechoslovakia, Egypt , India , North Korea , Poland , Russia , Syria and the former Yugoslavia. Although the 12.7 × 108 mm cartridge was originally primarily intended for use in machine guns, there are now several anti-matérial rifles chambered for the cartridge and thus match grade precision ammunition for these weapons is now beginning to be manufactured. Applications include soviet DShK heavy machine guns; RFAS NSV/NSVT heavy machine guns; Chinese Type 77, W-85 and W-89 machine guns; Hungarian 'Gepard', RFAS V-94, V-96 and other anti-materiel rifles.
