A 7.62mm heavy rifle that used by one member of a section, usually instead of either the assualt rilfe marksman weapon. It can be equiped with a bipod or foregrip to increase weapon stabilisation. It has an effective range of 1200 meters, far surpassing that of the basic rifle, allowing the section to effectively dispatch long range targets, during the firefight or to takedown fleeing targets without calling in a sniper team from plattoon HQ. The scope on the top is a X20 rifle scope, similar to that used on other sniper weapons, but also includes a EBS (Emergency Battle Sight) which allows the soldier to take down close range targets, if the pistol can not be drawn in time. It has a 5 roung magazine, but can be equipped with a larger 10 round or even a dual mag can be fitted next to it.The picitiny rail on the top allows other sights to be attached, including an ACOG, Holographic or 40X rifle scope (for extreme ranges if a sniper is unavailable). The screen on the side allows the marksman to see what the rest of the platoon can see via a helmet cam.
