During the Great World War III, the British Army called upon its most skilled marksmen to answer the call to fight the Soviet aggressors.
Armed with a high caliber bolt-action rifle, SAS snipers were amongst the greatest infantry killers of the war, having an effective range far greater than that of standard infantry units, and even that of Yuri's specialized snipers, the viruses. The sniper was also a master of stealth, being able to kill enemy infantry at long range without revealing his position.
Unfortunately, though no infantry could survive being in a sniper's sights for long, the round lacked the power to seriously damage vehicles or structures. Combined with the sniper rifle's slow rate of fire, the sniper was disadvantaged in close-ranged firefights, or against vehicles.
Its worth nothing that the Multigunner IFV and Turret are also armed with Sniper rifles but thats only if garrisoned by Natasha or a spy. Natasha herself is a sniper that can kill multiple infantry in one attack.
