Sniper rifles have the longest range of all weapons, along with excellent long-distance accuracy. With high per-shot damage, they have a propensity to destroy limbs. Therefore, they are a poor choice if you intend to take [[prisoner]]s after a raid.
+
The sniper rifle has the longest range of all weapons in the game, along with excellent long-distance accuracy as well as a high per-shot damage. Like the [[pila]] and [[charge lance]], the sniper rifle a reputation of maiming or even outright killing its victims. Due to the propensity of destroying limbs, it tends to make a poor choice if you intend to take [[prisoner]]s after a raid.

But, due to its sluggish firerate, actual {{DPS}} is one of the worst of the firearms, just on par with the neolithic [[greatbow]]. This leaves the sniper rifle to roles where the range is useful, such as provoking a [[siege]] to attack, or as one of best weapons to go hunting with. Also, close range accuracy is quite weak. This fact makes the sniper one of the most skill-heavy weapons of the game.

While per-shot damage is high, snipers have a sluggish firerate. Their actual {{DPS}} is among the worst of firearms, just on par with the neolithic [[greatbow]]. Thus, snipers are a poor "general" weapon. If range is important, though, then snipers are a strong choice. They can be used to provoke sieges, kite [[centipede]]s, or be one of the safest weapons to hunt with. Due to poor DPS and slow firerate, it is a tedious weapon to kite with and should generally be avoided unless you really need the range.
+
Compared to the [[bolt-action rifle]], the sniper rifle trades firing rate and accuracy at shorter distances for additional range, extra damage and improved long-distance accuracy. The sniper rifle is more expensive and has a larger research requirement, and isn't common from raiders, outside of sniper-only mercenary raids.

As a shooter's personal accuracy is reduced for each tile of distance, sniper rifles are one of the most skill-heavy weapons in the game. For example, a ''shooter'' with a [[Shooting Accuracy]] of 95% (Shooting 6) would have a <code>0.95^30</code> chance, or only ~21%, to hit a target from 30 tiles. This is regardless of weapon - weapons apply another penalty ''after'' shooter-side accuracy. In contrast, a shooter with Shooting Accuracy 99% (Shooting 20) would have a ~74% shooter-side chance to hit, a {{DPS}} ''increase'' of {{+|{{%|74/21 - 1 round 2}}}}. If using a sniper for long-range combat, then have your highest skill shooters wield it.

The sniper rifle can kill from 2 shots to the torso, or 1 shot to the head, brain, or any vital organ.

Compared to the [[bolt-action rifle]], the sniper rifle has worse firerate, {{DPS}}, and close-range accuracy in exchange for higher range, extra per-shot damage, and improved long-distance accuracy. The sniper rifle is more expensive, has a larger research requirement, and isn't common from raiders (barring sniper-only mercenary raids).
+
On average, the sniper rifle is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 14, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point.

Against an unarmored human, the sniper rifle can kill with 2 shots to the torso or 1 shot to the head, brain or any vital organ. It'll generally take around 3 hits (~20.9 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.
