Characteristics

An excellent rifle that will likely be the mainstay of a sniper build throughout the game until the M72 Gauss rifle comes into play. While it costs 7 AP to fire off an aimed shot, the outcome leaves nothing to be desired.

Excellent choice for John Cassidy and Vic, who can turn the tide of a lot of engagements with a well placed shot.
