"This specialized bolt-action sniper rifle has a fairly light body, and is known for its high accuracy across great distances."

Overview
The M24 is a bolt-action Sniper Rifle and is classed as a primary weapon in Combat Arms. It is the most accurate gun in the game (along with the DSR-1 Tactical, M1866 and the SPR), but lacks in damage. Many people favor the L96A1 over the M24 due to its 1 shot kill capability over the M24's faster bolt load time, larger standard magazine and greater accuracy. It is commonly seen being used by newer players, as it comes free for a week in the Starter Package and doesn't have a rank requirement.
