Combat Arms/Sniper rifles: Difference between revisions

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 fince if you are a camping sniper, if not then dont use either mag, mabey fast loader.
