# Precision Rifles

Rifles built to hit one target at long distance. This is the only chapter with weapons that print Extreme range, and both of them need a maneuver of preparation before the first shot.
Every entry carries **Accurate**, **Pierce**, or both. Every entry but one is slow: **Limited Ammo**, **Prepare**, or **Slow-Firing**.
Attacking at Extreme range is a Severe check. The telescopic sight in Chapter 17 and an aim maneuver are assumed in the fiction and are not built into these stat lines.
**Skill:** Heavy Ranged throughout.

Silent, Accurate 1, Limited Ammo 5
A short rifle built around an integral suppressor and a subsonic cartridge. The wartime De Lisle was a Lee-Enfield action firing .45 pistol ammunition; the Soviet VSS did the same job forty years later with a purpose-made round.
It is the only **Silent** long gun in the book. Damage 6 and Medium range are what a subsonic bullet allows.

A bolt-action rifle selected or built for accuracy, with a telescopic sight and a trained shooter behind it.
Damage 9, Crit 2, Extreme range, **Accurate 2**, **Pierce 2**. It pays with **Limited Ammo 5**, **Cumbersome 3**, and **Prepare 1**: a maneuver to settle into position before the first shot.

Pierce 4, Cumbersome 4, Prepare 1, Slow-Firing 1, Limited Ammo 5, Breach 1
A rifle chambered for a heavy machine gun cartridge. The wartime anti-tank rifles were built to hole armour plate; the modern type is used on vehicles, radar sets, and people behind walls.
Damage 10 and **Pierce 4** at Extreme range. It needs Might 4, a maneuver to set up, and a round of recovery after every shot (**Slow-Firing 1**). Encumbrance 7 is most of what one person can carry.
