6P62 (6П62) is the GRAU designation of a Russian handheld machine gun chambered for the 12.7×108mm round. Its project code name is unknown.
It is a large-frame automatic rifle with a short barrel and a folding bipod. It has a large compensating muzzle-brake on the end of the barrel to reduce the muzzle-flash, sound and recoil of the heavy round to manageable levels. All demonstrations used iron sights, as it is meant to be used at short ranges.
