Sniper, Designated Marksman and Anti-Materiel Rifles

This is a child group of Rifles and Carbines, collecting the Small Arms And Sidearms subcategory's precision rifles built or adapted for long-range accuracy: dedicated sniper rifles, designated marksman rifles issued to a squad's own precision shooter, and anti-materiel rifles chambered for a heavy round capable of defeating light armor or equipment at long range. It spans bolt-action and semi-automatic actions and bullpup configurations, and includes rifles built specifically for the sniper or designated-marksman role as well as standard rifle designs adapted to it. What unites the 64 members here is the precision-shooting role stated in each rifle's own weapon-class attestation, distinguishing them from the general-purpose service and assault rifles classified elsewhere under this same parent group.
