Heckler & Koch PSG-1
This weapon was developed specifically as a police and military sniper’s weapon. The barrel is a smooth bull-barrel design with polygonal rifling for extended life and accuracy. It uses the same roller-lock delayed blowback system used by most H&K weapons with the operating tolerances held extremely close. The trigger mechanism is capable of semiautomatic fire only and is fitted with an adjustable shoe. A precision adjustable tripod is available. The pistol grip is shaped to fit the hand and incorporates an adjustable palm rest to help eliminate fatigue when the weapon is held for long periods of time. A silent bolt closure device is fitted to the right side to allow the weapon to be quietly loaded when the situation demands. A six-power telescope sight is standard. A special aluminum carrying case that contains the weapon, precision tripod, two loaded 20-round magazines and two loaded 5-round magazines is standard. An extremely rare issue for Recon Teams.
