Introduction

The use of a sniper rile in a team can add a new dimension to games beyond the usual assassination

scenarios. Although perfect in that use, sniper riles provide a degree of lexibility to any team as they

provide support from an advantageous position. They can provide covering ire for an advancing team,

picking off sentries or heavy weapon crews, or even counter sniper ire. In today’s Special Forces team there

is usually a Sniper to do just that.

What follows is a selection of some of the world’s current sniper riles in use by various military and law

enforcement agencies. As some of these weapons are only in use with their nations military getting complete

data turned out to be near impossible, so please forgive what seems like some thin on the ground coverage

- its all that’s available.

The following is the information that may be provided with each weapon:

Calibre: The bullet calibre(s) that the rile is manufactured in.

Operation: The iring mechanism of the rile - either bolt-action, semi-automatic, or fully-

automatic

Capacity: The amount of bullets the magazine can hold

Weight: The weight of the rile with or without scope/loaded or unloaded (it is noted with the

rile what the weight refers to)

Length: The overall length of the rile

Barrel Length: The overall length of the barrel

Rate of Fire: This is the amount of rounds that can be ired in a minute. In the case of semi and fully

automatic riles this may be subdivided into max and effective rates of ire. These

describe the maximum rate of ire the weapon can achieve, and the rate of ire at which

the weapon is still useful due to the effects of recoil

Scope Type: The scope that is used as standard on the rile

Scope Data: Extra data about the scope

Compatible Scopes: Other scopes that are capable of being itted to the scope mount

Range:

The effective maximum range of the rile - the maximum range that you can reason

ably expect to hit the body of the target.

Accuracy:

The accuracy of the rile measured in Minutes of Angle (MOA)

Price:

The price in USD that the weapon costs on the open market

Telescopic Scopes

The d20 Modern rules states ‘ A standard scope increases the range increment for a ranged weapon by one

half (multiply by 1.5). However, to use a scope a character must spend an attack action acquiring his or

her target. If the character changes targets or otherwise lose sight of the target, he or she must reacquire

the target to gain the beneit of the scope. ’

The standard scope referred to in this statement covers scopes between x3 and x6 power. For scopes that are

of greater power than this, the range increment should be multiplied by two. This gives a bit more realism to

the game due to the wide variety of scopes that are available and used.

In the irst edition of this book there were some different rules proposed for scopes but they gave an unfair

advantage to untrained users of sniper weapons. A properly trained sniper knows how to judge distances

and gauge effects of wind etc., and so can set up a scope for maximum effect. The previous rules gave

over-powerful bonuses to every user of a scope and belittled the skills of a sniper and so that is why they

have been removed.
