FR F2

"This weapon evolved from the French MAS-36 sniper rifle, bringing with it a long and storied history. It has a wealth of modern attachments available for it, but keeps with the tried-and-true bolt-action loading."

- The Arsenal

The  FR F2 is a French sniper rifle released on a 19th of January 2012 preview sale.

The gun is on sale for perm again for a limited time starting Feb. 2nd, 2012.

"The FR F2 is an upgrade to the standard French FR FR1 sniper rifle. It's thermally shielded along the barrel to hide the sniper from heat-seeking equipment and has been upgraded with more power and engineered for better accuracy."

- Combat Arms Command

Overview
It has a short, skinny body that helps it to blend in well with the game's many camouflages and does not impede the player's view in-game. The high-magnification scope attached is the same as the scope on the M-200 and M-200 Ghillie, and is great for long distance sniping. The FR F2's magazine holds 10 rounds and can quickly be replaced on the battle field. Your character easily works the bolt, meaning chambering the next shot is a swift process. The gun does have one downside, it tends to tank across long distances like the TPG-1 Pro. In short, the FR F2 is a good gun that can turn a sniper into a powerhouse.
