A sniper rifle is a type of firearm designed for precision shooting at long distances. These rifles are equipped with high-powered scopes that allow shooters to accurately target objects far away. They are often used by military and law enforcement personnel for specialized missions where accuracy is crucial. Sniper rifles typically have a longer barrel and a more stable platform than standard rifles, which helps improve accuracy. They can fire various types of ammunition, including hollow-point and armor-piercing rounds, depending on the mission requirements. The use of sniper rifles requires extensive training to ensure effective and responsible use.
