User blog:EpaX/EpaX's Weekly Sniping Scoop (Week 2)

Welcome to EpaX's second sniping scoop! Here you will find information and reviews on various snipers.This week's review will be on..... the L96A1 Super-Magnum! (requested by Tommygun9504)

Overview
The L96A1 Super-Magnum is an extremely versatile NX Rare Bolt-Action sniper rifle. It features a much faster firing rate, higher damage and higher portability than the standard L96A1. It also comes with an ammo capacity of 6/18, 3 more bullets than the regular L96A1's 5/15.

Pros
Extreme Damage

The L96A1 Super-Magnum's raw damage exceeds the regular L96A1's damage by far. Many people find some of the L96A1's shots very frustrating, as it can easily fail to 1 hit kill even a Medium Vest player in the leg leaving them with red HP. The Super-Magnum's power much higher, and can take down even Heavy Vest players in the leg. The presence of the Muzzle Brake proves the Super-Magnum's excessive power. The L96A1 Black-Magnum and the M-200 Ghillie are one of the only weapons that are stronger than this in terms of power.

Firing Rate

The firing rate of the Super-Magnum far surpasses the L96A1. With an increase in firing rate by 4. The Super-Magnum can chamber 3 rounds in the time the standard L9 takes to chamber 2.

Portability

The Super-Magnum is a light sniper rifle. Its portability is 5 points higher than the standard L9, at 45. This increases its vesatility as an all-round sniper rifle.

Quickscoping/Quickswitching

The Super-Magnum is very efficient in quickscoping and quickswitching. The average magnification scope makes quickscoping easy for both close range and medium range combat. Quickswitching is a great tactic that can be used with the Super-Magnum, because of the Magnum's faster draw rate than the standard L9.

Cons
Accuracy

The L96A1 Super-Magnum, like every other L9 variant (other than the Holiday Wolf) has the lowest accuracy out of any sniper rifle. With its accuracy set at 90, players will find it very hard to hit players at long ranges, or even hit the heads of shoulder-peekers. This gun is horrible if you are the camping type of sniper, especially in Kill Creek. The Super-Magnum is best suited for players who move around, as its portability is quite high.
