- The Arsenal

The L115A3 is a sniper rifle that was introduced in the 12-23-09 Patch.

Overview
The L115A3 is the NX variant of the L115A2, featuring a unique pre-attached suppressor and a high powered scope shared by the GP variant that is clearer and more magnifying than the L96A1's. and a new brown coloring instead of the classic gray one. It costs 900 NX for a day, 3,400 NX for 7 days, 6,500 NX for 30 days and 11,900 NX for 90 days. Especially without the scope, this sniper rifle features a very noticeable increase in accuracy over all of the L96 variants. A no-scope shot is incredibly accurate, being able to consistently hit enemies across large portions of small maps such as Junk Flea; it hasn't been tested on larger maps as of yet. It is also relatively accurate when scoped, being able to hit targets at ranges even the L96A1 Black Magnum and L96A1 Arctic Wolf cannot reach. The accuracy of the L115A2 and L115A3 may be improved but the user either of the guns will still have trouble hitting campers with only their head sticking from a wall as the accuracy is the same as the GP L115A2. Even if more powerful, the L115A3's shots are still tankable, but less so than most other sniper rifles in Combat Arms.

WARNING: a sniper used to the L96A1's scope will have to adjust to the higher level of magnification. It has been known for expert L96A1 snipers to perform badly when first using a L115A3.

This weapon also rivals the L96A1 Black Magnum.
