DayZ Sniper Rifle Category

Sniper Rifles have a slow rate of fire in exchange for high damage in DayZ. The damage mostly comes from the ammunition used by the firearm but nearly all Sniper Rifles in DayZ are great at long range combat. Nearly every Sniper Rifle comes with an Optic or Sight to increase the guns accuracy, magnification and zeroing range. While not all Snipers in this weapon category perfectly suit being called a Sniper Rifle due to characteristics like the round they use or their weapon damage, they certainly have most of the capabilities of a long range firearm.
