British snipers fulfil a vital and enduring role on the battlefield, in
terms of intelligence-gathering, target identification and eliminating
high-value targets.
The L115A3 rifle, part of the Sniper System Improvement Programme
(SSIP), is a large-calibre weapon which provides state-of-the-art
telescopic day and night all-weather sights, increasing a sniper's
effective range considerably. |
