Sniper Rifle

A Sniper rifle is a high-precision, long range rifle. Requirements include accuracy, reliability, mobility, concealment and optics for anti-personnel, anti-materiel and surveillance uses of the military sniper. The modern sniper rifle is a portable shoulder-fired weapon system with a choice between bolt-action or semi-automatic action, fitted with a telescopic sight for extreme accuracy and chambered for a high-ballistic performance centerfire cartridge.
==Types==
===Bolt-Action===
A bolt-action sniper rifle is a sniper rifle that utilizes bolts that are operated manually by the opening and closing of the action with a small handle, most commonly placed on the right-hand side of the weapon. Like in reality, they are immensely powerful and capable of killing an enemy in one shot, and are known for it's inherently superior accuracy and precision compared to autoloading designs. Despite this, they tend to have a slower rate-of-fire due to their bolt-action design.
===Semi-automatic===
A semi-automatic sniper rifle is a rifle which makes use of an automatic rechambering system. These tend to be more common in FPS games set in the modern-day. In game terms, the semi-automatic rifles tend to be designed for shorter ranges than the bolt-action ones, and are also niched into less-damaging groups.
