Sniper rifle



A sniper rifle is a category of primary weapon available in the Counter-Strike Online.

Overview
Some sniper rifles are lightweight while the other heavyweight. Some are bolt action while some other semi-automatic firing mode. All of the sniper rifles are very different in comparison. For example, the AWP has a high cost, heavyweight and low rate of fire (bolt action). It is justified by the ability to kill an enemy in just one hit in almost every part of the body (except the legs) and fast reloading speed. On the other hand, the Scout has relatively medium damage which is two shots are needed to kill an enemy, fast reloading speed, and rate of fire but it is justified by its lightweight, low purchase cost, relatively medium accuracy when not scoped and no footsteps although sniper rifles have reasonably high purchase cost (excluding the Scout), medium-low rate of fire and low movement speed.
