Sniper rifle

Sniper rifle rifle used for long range targets. sniper rifles always have a scope attached which allows the sniper to view the target that they wish to shoot

Using a sniper rifle is made more difficult because snakes breating heartbeat etc causes the scope to tremble this can be helped by crouching, lying prone or using Diazepam. In Snakeater the less stamina you have the more your hands shake which is why The End uses tranquiliser darts which reduces snakes stamina
