Praezisionschutzengewehr("precision shooting rifle"). Considered by many to be the most accurate semi-auto sniper rifle in the world. It was developed in response to the 1972 Munich Olympics, in which the current sniper's
weapon, the G3SG1, was not accurate enough to make a good shot. It uses the same system from the
G3 assault rifle, a roller-locked delayed blowback action. It has a unique fully-adjustable butt stock as well as an adjustable trigger shoe. It also comes with a specially-developed mini-tripod. It can only use one scope, that being the one issued with the rifle, a 6x42 Hensholdt scope. It has a weird form of extraction in which it flings the spent casing nearly 32
feet from the weapon, which is one reason why it isn'
t popular with professional armies. The other reason is that the weapon is very
heavy, weighing nearly
18 pounds. All this comes at a very hefty price
tag of $10,000 dollars.
