Accuracy International AS50
AS50 was first demonstrated to the general public in January 2005 at the ShotShow 2005 exhibition in the USA. The 1369mm equipment weighs 14.1 kilograms without optics and ammunition and is intended mainly for special operations. A sniper can quickly fold or unfold it and put it into combat readiness. High accuracy of shooting over long distances, a device for mounting various optics, including night optics, make the AS50 one of the best modern examples of sniper rifles.
"Three-line" Mosin
In 1931, the Mosin rifle became the first Soviet sniper rifle, having received the “sighting tube” from the Podolsk Optical Plant. The design subsequently underwent certain changes. The “Three Line” performed well at short and medium distances during World War II. Thus, in the Battle of Stalingrad, 98 snipers of the 13th Guards Rifle Division destroyed 3,879 German soldiers and officers.
AMP Technical Services DSR-1
The German DSR-1 rifle can be called the most accurate, however, only when shooting under ideal conditions - using specialized cartridges and the absence of wind. It belongs to the police or anti-terrorist weapons and is used by European formations such as GSG-9. Professional military personnel are not very fond of the DSR-1 - it is susceptible to dirt and sand, and in real combat operations, for example, when there is an explosion nearby, it misfires.
Barett M82
This rifle has an interesting history of creation. The M82 was assembled by American Ronnie Barrett in his garage back in 1982. After the refusal of a number of leading arms companies, he decided to launch small-scale production for the domestic market. 7 years later, the Swedish Army buys 100 rifles from Barrett Firearms, and then the US Army pays attention to them during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield. Today the Barett M82 is in service with several dozen countries and can conduct targeted fire at a distance of almost 2 km. The rifle is present in a number of famous films and computer games up to GTA V, which once again confirms its authority.
Accuracy International Arctic Warfare
Another brainchild of the legendary English company Accuracy International Ltd., which has had no equal since 1980. The UK uses it for military purposes, and modified models are used by special forces and police. However, on the civilian weapons market this rifle is positioned as a “sports rifle” - for example, in Russia a few years ago it could be bought in a gun store for about 20 thousand dollars. The AWM fired the longest recorded combat sniper shot in history - British soldier Craig Garrison fired at a distance of 2,475 meters. The “cultural footprint” of this weapon can also claim a record - the AWM is mentioned in a number of the most famous computer shooters, including Call of Duty, Battlefield and, of course, Counter-Strike.

Vintorez
This silent sniper rifle was developed in the same 1980s as the ASVK. It was intended for special units. Later, after the collapse of the USSR, the screw cutter was actively used during the First and Second Chechen Wars, as well as during the Georgian-Ossetian conflict. The length of the rifle does not reach 90 centimeters, and the weight is less than three kilograms.
ASVK
The ASVK, or large-caliber army sniper rifle, was developed in the USSR back in the late 1980s. This 12-kilogram rifle is capable of hitting lightly armored and unarmored military vehicles at a distance of up to a kilometer. You don’t even have to talk about defeating a person - a bullet fired from this weapon will fly one and a half kilometers at a speed of approximately 850 meters per second.
CheyTac m200 "Intervention"
CheyTac m200 “Intervention” - one of the components of the American sniper system CheyTac LRRS - has been produced in various modifications since 2001. This model is distinguished by its ability to hit targets at long distances (about 2 kilometers) with high accuracy. We can say that “Intervention” has become a real phenomenon in the world of computer shooters. So in the famous game “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” it is present as one of the most powerful types of weapons.
