Sniper Rifle: Difference between revisions

A '''Sniper Rifle''' has been featured in every [[Grand Theft Auto]] game since [[Grand Theft Auto III]] with the exception of [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]. It is often required in missions to shoot enemy gang members at a distance, especially when the goal is to protect an ally from far away. At long range, the sniper rifle usually provides a stealth kill, however it is not silenced, and should be fired far away from pedestrians and police.  The rifle's magnifying scope is a valuable reconnaissance tool, and is also useful for viewing small game details like magazine covers and in-car objects.
