Sniper Rifle Calibers
Hello guys. I just wanted to ask about what sniper rifle has the highest caliber. What caliber is the highest? 9.3 mm, 7.62 mm, .338 mm etc. I also wanted to ask what sniper rifle is most ideal for long range sniping, M320 LRR, Cyrus, Lynx, etc. Thank you in advance!!! :special:

Thank you. So the M320 would be a good choice.

the lynx is better for long range, as the bullet wont realy drops, but the bullet of the m320 will drop after 1200m

The Lynx is a semi-automatic anti-material rifle. It doesn't have the M320's precision by far.

7.62 sucks for sniping in this game.. Takes at least 2 torso shots at close range and that is if the target does not wear armor.. Head shots are hard at ranges of 500 and above. So much for milsim..

the games takes place in a near future, where you have better armor than today, and new calibers etc, so 7.62 feels like 6.5.
i still use a lot of 7.62 and kill a tons of ppl with 2-3 shot. but when i lean down and take a shot i usually hit the head and still hit it over 600m with the DMS. and it still takes 2 shot to the chest at this range, if the enemy has any armor, even metal plates

Did you read what I said? 2 shots right where the heart is supposed to be with no armor.. 10 meters range.

2 shots kill anyone at 10m but still do at 500m

7.62 is pretty good in my opinion for close to mid ranged combat. However not so much for long ranged combat.
