M24

The M24 is an bolt-action sniper rifle that is unlocked at level 23, being the cheaper brethren of the AWM, alongside the sniper-playstyle weapons with the Crossbow and aforementioned AWM. 
==Tips On Usage==
The M24 is a very excellent sniper, with some good wall-penetration and overall damage, meaning the M24 can pierce through smaller barriers - use this to your advantage if your enemy is hiding behind smaller-sized barricades. as the M24 bolt-action is slow, each shot requires precision and management - although it has high damage, it's relatively below penetration for the sniper class means it cannot one-shot armored opponents in the head or two-shot armored opponents.
The M24 (When equipped with any scope) is uncomfortable to use at close-range, because ADS can be difficult at emergencies up close - consider bringing a secondary such as the MP5 or G18 in emergencies where the enemy gets up close, and personal. However, In the hands of a skilled player who can aim in tight situations and land a headshot, you may be able to survive off using the M24 itself. If you plan on getting more close and personal, prevent adding an attachment, as the ability to use TPS with the M24 is very helpful in some situations. 
The M24 performs best with headshots, insta-downing players without helmets and severely injuring those with one. If somebody survives a headshot, it is safe to assume they are injured and can be finished off with a secondary. The remaining 3 bullets is also good enough to simply shoot them off after a headshot. Make sure to keep aiming for the head if the player is downed, as that also instantly kills them off.
