Sniper rifle

 Introduction

The concept of this rifle developed in my mind over the past several years as I watched the conflicts in the Middle East and as the sniping tactics evolved during those conflicts over the past several years.
The one major area of change that evolved, more so in Iraq, was with the development of the urban battlefield as a major hot bed of combat operations and sniper involvement.
It became such an integral part of the combat operations that it actually helped contribute to the adoption of a new Sniper Rifle for the US Army, the M110 Semi-Auto Sniper System (SASS) which is pictured below:
