Noticed ALOT of people making new posts asking about sniper-rifles, and which to buy, so I'm making one right now which will hopefully let everyone know what they want to know. Here is just some basic information(if you want in-depth coding numbers, click here), with some included pictures for the new guys, who, presumably, are the ones asking for which rifle to buy. Just think of it as going to the gun store. Enjoy!

Gol is great, easy to took headshot
M14 is great, a lot of ammo
Sv98 is great, it is free
(my opinion)

[tomek0987]

Anyway great post

[BuckTester]

Nice one

[=GammaEagle=]

Bump, on account of the new Deviation numbers.

[FullTwist]

Nice! This will help many begginers for sure .

In my opinion with m95 is very good (i've bought it permanently with 25% discount last month) but it's very slow... In my opinion you should buy all of the snipers for 1 day and then choose the best for you if you're thinking about buying a permanent one

[redharvest]

*hint* I'd put staying scoped after each shot as a special perk for the ones that do (SVD, M14EBR, M110, VSS, SVU-A). *hint*

[ShadeyTex2.1]

Before some updates ago bullet drop was not so noticeable and I made very easy kills with it specially with the SV-98 regardless of damage.

[aperson123]

nice guide

[=GammaEagle=]

Well, if you fire the shot, and DO NOT release the trigger, you will remain scoped in for Bolt-Action Sniper Rifles, when firing at long range. Do not do this in a sniper-fight, the fastest rate of fire is most important in that case.

If anyone could please help:
Post the Permanent Play4Free Funds cost
Post the Permanent Credits cost

Your help would be deeply appreciated. Very much so. I own all of them, so I cannot look at their prices. Thank you.

[Healin4ev3r]

Good guide, but don't forget to put in this link and BuckRaven's attachments guide

[AbdulEllahib]

Nice article man!
I already own the M14EBR, I agree with what you said about a bunch of ammo, the thing is, it has lots of recoil oh shots, good for close-quarters though...

[LTJMart]

at the M24 it says that it kills with 2 hits at any range, but
that its min damage is 48. that means that at max range it does
96 damage, 100 damage is a kill, correct?

[=GammaEagle=]

I apologize for the misguidance created by this guide. You are indeed correct. My mistake is that I always use the +3 Version. I will fix it as soon as possible.

[BuckTester]

You can put ^this part into the top of your Guide to others won't have to scroll a long way to see their meanings. Nice icons !

Very nice guide. Glad someone went through the trouble of putting it together. But the message I'm getting (presuming all the numbers are correct) is that the SV-98 simply cannot be made to land lethal headshots at long range, no matter which barrel and ammo you use. Likewise the M-95 will always land 2-hit kills to the body and 1-hit kills to the head even without modifications. And the ones in the middle absolutely need mods to keep a similar level of lethality.

Behaving like a sniper has never been rougher.
