The gun has a functional scope which has adjustable zoom level, which is done by holding down the zoom button and then releasing at the desired amount. When a shot lands on an enemy while looking through the scope, a view following the bullet's path will be shown. It is the only weapon to not suffer from bullet lag, either. However, ammo for it is extremely rare and it should only be used in the rare cases where it is abundant. Max first finds it in [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]], in a container area where it was supposed to be picked up by [[Rico Muerte]]. ===Max Payne 2=== The Sniper Rifle is not as powerful in ''Max Payne 2'' as it was in the first game. Only the weakest enemies can be taken down with a shot to the chest. The fact that all weapons are capable of one-shot kills to the head makes the rifle even less useful. Finally, long-range situations aren't common in ''Max Payne 2'', limiting the Sniper Rifle's usefulness as a long-range weapon. Ammunition remains scarce (except for the level [[In the Middle of Something]] where there player can get maximum ammo), so it is generally reserved for the rare long-range situations. Max first picks up the Sniper Rifle in [[No 'Us' in This]], where the commando sniper left it. [[Mona Sax]] never has access to this weapon. Instead, she wields the larger and arguably better [[Dragunov]], a rifle which Max, in turn, never gets to use. ==Behind the Scenes== *The Sniper Rifle in both games is based on the [[Wikipedia:Steyr SSG 69|Steyr SSG 69]]. ==Gallery== <gallery spacing="small" position="center" captionalign="left"> Sniperrifle.jpg </gallery> {{Navbox Weapons}} {{Navbox Weapons 2}} [[Category:Max Payne 1 Weapons]] [[Category:Max Payne 2 Weapons]] [[Category:Sniper Rifles]] [[es:Rifle de francotirador]]
