--- Quote from: Wikipedia - Most unreliable source on the web ---In military and law enforcement terminology, a sniper rifle is a rifle used to ensure more accurate placement of bullets at longer ranges than other small arms. A typical sniper rifle is built for optimal levels of accuracy, fitted with a telescopic sight and chambered for a military centerfire cartridge. The term is often used in the media to describe any type of accurized firearm fitted with a telescopic sight that is employed against human targets, although "sniping rifle" or "sniper's rifle" is the technically correct fashion to refer to such a rifle.

I just played ArmA 2 for the first time (flipping amazing!) and I was wondering, what's the difference between a designated marksman and a sniper? Or are they the same, just sniper is more or less slang?
YoshiDude:
Absolutely amazing models, but one thing in the description of one of the guns kind of bugged me.

A rugged, reliable modular assault rifle that looks almost futuristic. It has great accuracy.

Really?
...Really?
I've heard that thing has loving melted while in testing. It was never truly finished, I don't think, so it still melts. Sure sounds reliable. On top of that, it's probably not as accurate as you think.

Marksmen usually use scoped assault rifles with semi/burst firing modes, and snipers use true-blue sniper rifles.
