Damage table

Base Damage	Headshot Multiplier	Kevlar Armor Multiplier	Flak Armor Multiplier	Lazarus Armor Multiplier	Heavy Armor Multiplier	Light Armor Multiplier	Aerial Armor Multiplier	Building Multiplier	MCT Multiplier
100	x3	x1	x1	x1	x0.01	x0.3	x0.3	x0.009	x0.9

Full damage will be inflicted only if the target body is struck completely by the bullet. Higher veterancy ranks will increase the base damage by a specified multiplier.

Function

The Sniper Rifle can precisely fire armor piercing bullets. Sometimes it is favored over the Ramjet Rifle because it does not leave traces that the enemy could employ to pinpoint the sniper's whereabouts after firing. The Sniper Rifle has two zoom lens levels and a nightvision integrated into its scope (press N to activate). A headshot with Sniper Rifle is almost a guaranteed one hit kill; therefore it can be the bane of infantries if the wielder is skilled enough. It does basically no damage to vehicles or buildings.
