The L115A3, the British Army's standard sniper rifle, is a significant upgrade chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, offering superior range and power over 7.62 NATO. Adopted after the 2007-2008 SSIP program, it integrates advanced optics like the Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II and features a heavy fluted barrel. Its combat effectiveness in Afghanistan, with engagements exceeding 2,000 meters, highlights its role in modern special operations.
The H&K PSG-1 is a highly specialized semi-automatic sniper rifle developed for police counter-terrorism, stemming from the 1972 Munich Olympics. It features extensive modifications over the G3 platform for sub-0.5 MOA accuracy, including a heavy barrel, modified roller-locking system, precision trigger, and a unique tripod. Its original $10,000 price tag and dedicated design made it an iconic, albeit rare, precision firearm.
