Trivia
- The SL8 was originally intended to be a skin for the SIG SG550 Sniper, but was changed to a standalone weapon instead.
- The SL8 is modeled after its 10-round variant, yet somehow holds 20/25 rounds.
- On its buttstock there is an embossed sticker with the words "CSO".
- The words written on the side of SL8 Custom's scope are "US. GOVT" and "KNIGHTS ARMAMENT CO".
- The suppressor on SL8 Custom isn't functional, instead, the firing sound has more 'punch' to it.
