Sniper Rifle

This is a standard sniper rifle, not to be confused with other rifle. It is often required in missions to shoot enemy gang members at a distance, especially when the goal is to protect an ally from far away. At long range, the sniper rifle usually provides a stealth kill, however it is not silenced, and should be fired far away from pedestrians and police. The rifle's magnifying scope is a valuable reconnaissance tool, and is also useful for viewing small game details like magazine covers and in-car objects. The sniper, along with the M4, are GTA:SA's main way of dealing damage to players and Vehicles from a long distance. The sniper can shoot much farther than the M4 and does much more damage, but its firing rate is much slower which demands increased accuracy.
