Contrary to the appearance of the ten round magazine on the model, magzines have a capacity of six rounds (as opposed to ten for the standard [[sniper rifle]]), but with a higher rate of fire (although the fire rate is much slower than the [[Combat Sniper]] from the previous games). Thanks to the employment of [[wp:50 BMG|.50 BMG]] cartridges, the heavy sniper is capable of very high damage per round, and is able to one-hit kill players in the chest up to rank 99. The Heavy Sniper is also able to do heavy damage to vehicles, being able to destroy the tail rotor of an helicopter in two shots. Its power accurately represents its real life counterpart, this rifle is an [[wp:Anti-materiel rifle|Anti-materiel rifle]] rather than the usual ''Anti-personel rifles'', however, the effective fire range appears to be reduced, since the real life counterpart has an effective firing range of 1,800 meters. In addition, it can stop a [[Rhino]] with a few shots in GTA Online.

— GTA V description on the Rockstar Games Social Club.

The Vom Feuer Heavy Sniper is a semi-automatic sniper rifle that makes its debut appearance in Grand Theft Auto V.

Design

The weapon is based on the high caliber Barrett M82 rifle, more specifically the M107. The in-game model appears to have ten round magazines. Unlike the M82 rifle family, the heavy sniper features an elevated picatinny rail instead of having it integrated into the handguard. The model has a large muzzle brake, which appears to be from the M82A3/ M107, slightly altered however. The stock is also altered slightly from that of the M82A3.

Performance

Contrary to the appearance of the ten round magazine on the model, magzines have a capacity of six rounds (as opposed to ten for the standard sniper rifle), but with a higher rate of fire (although the fire rate is much slower than the Combat Sniper from the previous games). Thanks to the employment of .50 BMG cartridges, the heavy sniper is capable of very high damage per round, and is able to one-hit kill players in the chest up to rank 99. The Heavy Sniper is also able to do heavy damage to vehicles, being able to destroy the tail rotor of an helicopter in two shots. Its power accurately represents its real life counterpart, this rifle is an Anti-materiel rifle rather than the usual Anti-personel rifles, however, the effective fire range appears to be reduced, since the real life counterpart has an effective firing range of 1,800 meters. In addition, it can stop a Rhino with a few shots in GTA Online.
