Modern Firearms - Sniper Rifles - Intro (1469 words)
The main purpose of the sniper rifle is to destroy valuable targets at extended ranges with aimed fire, and with as few ammunition as possible.
While the "true" sniper rifles usually are bolt action ones, to achieve maximum accuracy, the DMRs usually are semi-autos, such as Russian SVD or German G3ZF or MSG-90, to gain higher rate of fire.
The most common way of describing the accuracy of the sniper rifle is to measure average diameter of the circle, that may be drawn arount the group of bullet holes in the target.
sniper rifle (1629 words)
A sniper rifle is a vague class of rifle used for sniping or a similar use which requires a precision small arm (anti-materiel work, explosive ordnance destruction, and other related operations).
