The Heckler & Koch PSG1 is a German sniper rifle that was introduced in the late 1960s to both arm the Deutsches Heer with a capable semi-automatic rifle and to provide police units such as the GSG-9 with fast, precise firepower, all-too important as the International War on Terror began in earnest. At its introduction, it was one of the very few high precision semi-automatic rifles. It features a free-floating octagonal barrel and a ZF 6x42 PSG1 telescopic sight. While it requires special care and cannot be handled as roughly as the G3 can, its capabilities are unmatched by anything in the rifle's family tree.
