AW50

The AW50 Sniper Rifle is a high-caliber, long ranged weapon highly capable of taking out enemies from extreme distances making its sole appearance in Far Cry.
The use of the sniper rifle in an open environment is of great advantage to the user as it allows long range dispatchment of enemies without being seen. Although to get the best benefit out of this stealth infiltration, the gunner must be at maximum effective killing range.
The sniper's accuracy is also dependent on the players aiming position. If the player is standing while aiming, the scope will shake, making an accurate shot more difficult. If the player is kneeling, it is more stable and easier to get an accurate shot. The best position to use is prone, as it allows the sniper to get the best shots since the viewfinder does not move. The disadvantage of sniping from the prone position is that it does not allow the sniper to scope the environment for a kill vertically, it so can hinder sniping enemies from outpost towers unless in a maximum sight position, for example on a cliff overlooking a camp. However, this leaves the player open to return fire.
When wielding the sniper rifle, movement is slowed dramatically.
=== Obtaining ===
AW50 is first found in the level Fort in a hut at the southeastern end of the first beach, but in the pre-release version it is on top of the carrier in the levels Training and Carrier.
==Far Cry Classic==
In Far Cry Classic, the AW50 has been given a new model. It is now far more bulky in appearance, befitting of a rifle supposedly chambered for .50 caliber ammunition.
