Revision as of 03:52, 21 June 2009
A Sniper Rifle has been featured in every Grand Theft Auto game since Grand Theft Auto III with the exception of Grand Theft Auto Advance. 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. It is used as stealth kills, but firing a sniper rifle may cause increase of a likelihood of police attention and pedestrians panicking, so stealth kills should only be performed in secluded areas where there are no witnesses or cops around. The rifle's telescope is a valuable reconnaissance tool and many players have fun using its zoom feature on characters or objects.
Like in many computer games, its bullets fly straight to the targeted point (a 'hitscan' weapon) - real life variables like distance, wind, or target movement don't affect the bullet.
In Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV, the sniper rifle is based off the Remington 700. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, however, it's based on a Springfield M21 in order to fit the game's setting, 1984.
The sniper rifle's scope is easier to use, but the Laser Sniper is more accurate, yet harder to actually aim due to lack of a crosshair.
