Magazine Size: 7.
Ammunition: 7.62×54mm rimmed rifle cartridge.
Description:
“Like most weapons in the wasteland, this custom-built, versatile sniper rifle serves the particular purpose of it's creator.
Upon closer inspection, it's apparent that a unique mixture of metallic alloys make up the majority of the weapons' build - making it surprisingly light for a higher caliber rifle.
This is the only sniper rifle known to remain viable at close quarters due to a very different approach to it's chambering mechanism - The stock of the weapon is what propels used casings out of the chamber and inserts a new bullet from the magazine. The stock requires a decent amount of force to operate, which is why it's preferable to use your enemies as the counter force.
While it's effective to simply fire the weapon to hit long range targets, reloading it without using an enemy as a counter-force will take considerably longer."
Combat Role:
One rarely hears of a sniper-rifle that's most effective at melee range. That is why this particular weapon can serve a unique role in Buck's arsenal, should you choose to take it with you on your travels in Venganza.
The weapon fires an incredibly strong projectile, penetrating and knocking back the first enemy hit while damaging all enemies that are behind the target for reduced damage.
Using Buck's basic melee combos with this rifle equipped will allow you to hit enemies with the stock of the rifle - which will in-turn place a new bullet in its firing chamber, giving you the option to fire the weapon again.
This rifle should provide you with more control over the battlefield rather than outright damage. It can interrupt long-range enemies while severely damaging those in close range.
It's a new and unique mindset to those who prefer long-rage sniper rifles; to know that the closer enemies get, the deadlier you will become.
