Editing Combat Arms/Sniper rifles

{{Header Nav|game=Combat Arms}}

Sniper rifles are guns specifically made to kill enemies from a far range. They deal extreme amounts of damage per shot, fire slowly, and have a built-in scope of huge magnification. Snipers are very clumsy and difficult to aim with at a close range. This is because you must be using the scope for the gun to have accuracy.

When operated without a scope, sniper rifles have no crosshairs to mark the center of your screen, and the accuracy is worse than that of a machine gun. Note that although the numerical difference in accuracy of sniper rifles seems insignificant, but it really is, because you are dealing with such far ranges.

All sniper rifles can be fitted with a suppressor (except the SR25 and its supply case counterpart) or a magazine mod.

''Common Name: M24''

This is not a commonly used sniper, because although it is bolt-action (you must leave the scope after each shot to work the bolt, massively slowing down firing rate), it takes two shots to kill. The M24 specializes in accuracy - 100% accuracy, so as long as you aimed well, you will never miss a shot. If you miss, it is your fault, not the gun's.

Because you leave the scope after each shot, recoil does not affect this weapon at all. The M24 is also more portable than the other sniper rifles. It has a weird clip size of 7, so you might leave somebody half-dead while reloading, or just waste a bullet.

''Common Name: M24 Woodland''

Exactly the same as the M24, but with a woodland camo skin. There is absolutely no difference in the gun performance. As for why you would need to pay an extra 100 GP for no improvement on the original gun, nobody really knows.

''Common Name: SR''

This fully automatic sniper rifle has the weakest damage but also the fastest fire (besides its supply case variant). The accuracy deviates slightly from perfect, but it is still good. The SR25 has a built-in silencer that you can't really see, but it exists, and your shots aren't loud.

Low recoil makes it easy to take shot after shot, although whenever using a semi-auto rifle you should still aim carefully and try to not use more than two bullets for a kill. There is not a lot of ammo to waste.

''Common Name: SR Sandfire''

This upgrade on the SR25 simply makes it shoot faster. The fast firing rate tempts people to spray the shots, but you should still aim carefully to conserve ammo.


In L96A1 dominated "Sniper Only" games, there is somewhat of a taboo against using any Semi-Auto sniper rifle, specifically, the SR25 and its variants.

''Common Name: MSG''

The MSG-90 is almost the exact same as the SR25, but it features more damage per shot (still a two-shot kill though), a slower firing rate, and more recoil. Other than a balance tweak on those three statistics, everything else is pretty much the same, with the high accuracy and such.

[[Image:CA_SVD.jpg|350px]]

''Common Name: SVD or Drag''

The Dragunov SVD sniper rifle is a further tweak on the stats of the SR25. While the MSG-90 is like an SR25 with more damage, slower fire, and more recoil, the SVD is an MSG-90 with the same things.

While still taking two shots to kill, one shot with the SVD will leave any enemy so mortally wounded that one more shot from any of your teammates could finish him or her off. The scope is slightly different from the rest - the point of the top chevron marks the center.

Accuracy is slightly lower, but it shouldn't pose much of a problem. SVD shots are incredibly loud, but you can not attach a silencer.

''Common Name: PSG''

This predecessor to the powerful MSG-90 is the most powerful semi-automatic sniper rifle. It kills light vest wearers in one hit, and leaves anyone else with hardly any HP to speak of. Also, the PSG-1 deals a 1 hit kill when shooting an enemy's back (the only other weapon with noticeable damage difference on a back shot is the Desert Eagle).

Although it is the heaviest sniper rifle, the fair amount of accuracy makes up for this. The slightly slow rate of fire matches well with the low recoil so that you can just spam bullets by holding down the mouse button, and still hit your mark.

The PSG-1 has a moderately high rank requirement and costs a lot of GP. It should also be noted that the scope on the PSG deviates far from the scope of other regular Sniper Rifles. The scope's range is slightly higher than the Trishot Holosight.

''Common Name: PSG Camo''

A supply case variant of the PSG-1, the reloading mechanism is tweaked so that you can load faster. Otherwise, the PSG-1 CAMO seems to be just a PSG-1 plus green paint.

[[Image:CA_L96A1.jpg|350px]]

''Common Name: L9''

This is the most inaccurate and second least portable sniper. It also has the slowest firing rate, and a lower level of magnification than the M24, SR-25 or MSG-90. Yet this is the most popularly used sniper because of one thing: its ridiculously powerful one-hit kill. The power is over 100, so a shot to anywhere besides the leg is a 1 hit kill. The L96A1's shots will kill any light or medium vest with one shot (unless there are programming problems, where even someone with a light vest may still "tank" the shot and survive). Sometimes, it's also a one shot kill to a heavy vest; however, if a suppressor is equipped on this gun, it is ALWAYS a two shot kill to someone with a heavy vest.

Despite the fact that it is a bolt action sniper, recoil still affects this gun. This can be proven by emptying all your bullets on a wall, where a recoil pattern will show up. The bolt takes much longer to work than does the M24's bolt, the L96A1 also takes longer to scope. The L96A1's shots are very loud without using a suppressor, in fact, if you are playing in Snow Valley, nearly everyone in the map can hear your shot.

This sniper's poor accuracy can be noticed when you try to snipe somebody who is partially concealed from view, such as when someone camps behind one of the U-shaped barriers in Snow Valley with only their head showing. You could take five well-aimed shots at that head and still not hit it. Still, the beastly power makes this a common choice for both beginning and expert snipers. Fit with S3 suppresor, actually conceals 100% of the flash, extended mags are fine if you are a camping sniper, if not then dont use either mag, maybe fast loader.

''Common Name: L9 Mag''

A more powerful variant of the standard L96A1, this sniper rifle is extremely heavy, but it is so powerful that it will deal a one hit kill no matter what. The ordinary L9 will not deal one hit kills by means of a leg shot.

Absolutely nothing stops the L9 Magnum from being a one-hit kill. Otherwise, all other stats are similar.

[[Image:CA_L9-Ghillie.jpg|350px]]

''Common Name: L9 Ghillie''

This Supply Case upgrade on the L96A1 differs only in that it is covered in green grass for camouflage, and that it comes with a suppressor. This suppressor isn't exactly the same as the S1 suppressor which you can buy from the Modification shop for just 100 GP, as the Ghillie version is still a one hit kill to light and medium-vested targets. The Ghillie has the power of the regular L9 without the suppressor.

The L9 Ghillie seems to scope and fire a bit faster than the standard L9, but this might not be worth the money of trying to get it from a supply case.

The L96A1 Arctic Wolf is identical to this variant of the L96A1, but with white rather than olive-colored camo.
