L96A1

"A bolt-action sniper rifle known for its deadly accuracy and exceptional durability regardless of terrain."

- The Arsenal

The L96A1 (Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Precision Marksman) is a GP bolt-action Sniper Rifle.

Overview
The L96A1 is known for its availability and high damage, often capable of killing in one shot. This capability, however, suffers at extreme distances; heavy vesters and even light vesters may survive a shot in the foot or arm at such distances.

The biggest drawback of this weapon is its accuracy, the lowest of all Sniper Rifles and lower than some Assault Rifles. While it is enough for encounters in medium-sized maps, it becomes obsolete when used in long-range combat.

The L96A1 was one of the first weapons implemented with the ability to kill several enemies with one shot.

Events

 * The L96A1 was available for permanent during:
 * Best of 2010 Sale for 100,000 GP.
 * Labor Day Event for 100,000 GP.
 * One Day Sale on 14 August 2013 for 90,000 GP.
 * Taking the "recession" into consideration, If one had bought the permanent version of the L96A1 (when it was sold at 200,000 GP), one would have gotten a 100,000 GP rebate (given 3–5 days after purchase).

Trivia

 * The L96A1 was the first OHK weapon in Combat Arms.
 * The L96A1 does more than 100 damage. The actual damage is greater than or equal to 129.
 * Getting a headshot with this gun on an unarmored opponent will do up to 900 damage.
 * This, like all sniper rifles in Combat Arms, lacks the real life re-chambering action produced when pulling the bolt back. When the weapon is fired in Combat Arms, the casing is immediately ejected, then the bolt is pulled back. In a real life firing, the used round casing remains in the chamber until the bolt is pulled back, ejecting the used casing and re-chambering a new round.
 * The L96A1 is one of the few weapons still able to be bought for 1-day durations.
