Closing thoughts

The G3SG1 has very high damage output at range with accuracy. Interestingly, it also reloads quicker than the Terrorist equivalent.

The SSG 08 - also known as the "scout" - is the cheapest sniper rifle. In the right hands (those that can land shots to the head consistently) it can be a devastating weapon for its low price.

Interestingly, it also has a absurdly good jumping accuracy and a relatively low movement speed penalty of 8% (even while scoped), which allow it to be played with a more mobile style than other sniper rifles.
