it's the KPV heavy machine gun ( 14. 5 mm ) it entered the service in 1949 as a infantry weapon later it became more in use as a light anti armour or anti aircraft machine gun and bullet has 2 times the energy of a classic .50 ( 12.7 mm ) round

No, the .50 Cal Heavy Machine is the largest Cal gun to still be called a "Gun" it is a 12.7 mm
A 12.8 or higher would be classified as a Cannon
Now, the largest fast firing machine gun like "cannon" is the GAU 8 Avenger 30mm 7 barreled gatling gun on the A-10 Warthog, with a 3000 round per minute capability

It is the largest American heavy machine gun. The Soviet Dishka is larger and has significantly more energy. It is a 12.7 with a significantly larger case capacity. There is a big difference between the American .50 cal (most commonly known as the M2HB) and the Dishka although you would not want to be on the receiving end of either one.

there are automatic weapons that are larger than 50 caliber. But they are usually mounted weapon systems.
