Sniper rifle (disambiguation)

A sniper rifle is a rifle used to ensure more accurate placement of bullets at longer ranges than with other small arms. A typical sniper rifle is built for optimal levels of accuracy; fitted with a telescopic sight and chambered for a military centerfire cartridge. The term sniper rifle is often used in the media to describe any type of accurate firearm fitted with a telescopic sight that is employed against human targets, however "sniping rifle" and/or "sniper's rifle" are technically the correct way to refer to such a rifle. There are numerous references of the following Sniper Rifle in the Halo Universe:

Trivia

• A sniper typically gets away with the "camping" tactic as staying stationary allows the player to pick off targets more accurately.
• A useful strategy is for the player to climb a tree in order to camouflage themselves; examples include High Ground and Isolation
• In campaign allies equipped with a sniper rifle typicaly are more accurate in moving vehicles than they are while stationary
• Jackal Snipers are known for their accuracy in Legendary; because of this Bungie lowered the Jackal's accuracy on Legendary in Halo 3: ODST.
• In game a skilled player can shoot grenades and rockets in mid-flight while using the sniper rifle. This is not a recommended tactic.
• A game design flaw wth the SRS99D is that the spent bullet casing is ejected from the right side of the rifle; however, the ejection port is on the left side of the weapon.
• To facillitate gameplay balance in multiplayer and campaign Covenant and UNSC sniper rifles can give away your position. When fired either a beam or white contrail will be visible - however, in reality the only real way to locate a concealed sniper is by either noticing the weapon's muzzle flash or triangulating the sound of the gunshot.
