"Integrated with a suppressor to help obscure the sniper's location, the L115A3 further improves on the abilities of this powerful line of sniper rifles."

- 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 tan brown coloring instead of the classic gray one. This sniper rifle features a noticeable increase in accuracy over all of the L96 variants though it is still quite inaccurate when compared to many of the newer sniper rifles. 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, so the full potential of this weapon is not known. 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 L115A3 may be improved, but the user of either gun will still have trouble hitting campers where only their head is visible as the accuracy or sniping people across long distances as the bullet will most likely veer off target no matter how accurately you place the shot. Even if more powerful, the L115A3's shots are still tankable, but less so than most other sniper rifles in Combat Arms. This weapon also rivals the L96A1 Black-Magnum.
