L96A1

The L96A1 (AWP/AWM) is a bolt-action sniper rifle. It is the only one-hit-kill weapon in the game (apart from the L96A1 Ghillie version, which is the same thing), anywhere on the body. Compared to the SR-25 and the M24 it isn't that accurate and will occasionally miss, but nevertheless, the L96A1 is still a formidable rifle. New players may dislike this gun because of its recoil and relative difficulty to place shots. The bolt-action configuration of the L96A1 coupled with the slight lowering of accuracy for the L96 means that missed shots have far worse consequences that on a sniper rifle like the SR-25 that allows for quick re-aiming and firing.

There is also another version of this gun known as the L96A1 Ghillie, which can be received only through the purchase of a Supply Case Elite-III. The L96A1 Arctic Wolf was introduced in the Christmas patch. It functions on par with the other two versions.

Variety
This gun has more variations than any other gun. There are four of them:ghille,arctic wolf,super-magnum,black-magnum. The ghille and arctic wolf both have a free silencer attached. The super-magnum has a slightly higher reload speed and a bigger magazine. The Black-Magnum is an evern more powereful version of the Super-magnum.
