Sniper for PA

[TaimiKhan]

AoA Guys,

Well would like to add something in this informative dialouge, which is that Pakistan Army has also started to induct British Range Master .50 Calibre AMR. I have seen it myself in a pic. One of my dear one is in the army, and his unit got them recently. He brought a pic of the rifle on his mobile. But they have yet to fire them. Hope this info helps.

POF is license producing the PSR-90 (which is a copy of the PSG-1 rifle). The HK PSG-1 rifle and in turn the PSR-90 are both semi-automatic rifles more suitable for use by Counter Terrorism teams. Snipers in the field most typically use bolt-action rifles and the ones in use by the Pakistan Army are fairly good one. There is a difference in terms of accuracy between bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles with the bolt-action ones providing higher accuracy.

I suggest using the M-24. Its the Standard for the American Army. Apart from that it's my favorite Sniper Rifle, mostly because its the most widely used weapon in BF-2 that I use!

What are we using currently?

Pakistani army uses the Steyr SSG-69 as its primary Sniper Rifle, G-3 with scope is also used. The SSG uses the SSG-69 and the PSG-1. I have a question guys why the Sniper Rifle is preferred to be Bolt Action and not self loading?

POF showcased the PSR-90 (A licensed copy of the PSG-1) thus I am inclined to assume that we DO make our own PSG-1.

About the SSG-69, we import them from Austria.
Here is a good detailed list of all the Infantry weapons being used by Pakistan Army and SSG.

SSG does not use PSG-1 in the field as far as I am aware. Its currently AI L-96 and Steyr SSG69. Most bolt action rifles have better accuracy than the semi-automatic Sniper rifles.

During the Red-Mosque operation I did see atleast one soldier with the PSG-1/PSR-90 deployed on a rooftop aiming at the Mosque. Though I guess it might be as popular as the SSG69.
