For those of you that dont know this is the standard sniper rifle of the british army with a funny scope thing added and a droopy bit on the end of the barrel, it can also be found in counter striek as the dreaded arctic warfare rifle. And i am quite pleased about the use of some real world weapons as some of the new in game weapons (HK g36 = proton carbine) as it follows the original films way of sticking a couple of bits on a gun and calling it a blaster therefore making them different yet oddly familar.

In answer to your question I dont know the quest in game, but you can always sign up to the british army, and do some sniper training to get one, if you are REALLY desperate to get one.

If you live in america no doubt you can buy one down your local supermarket in the aisle next to the frozen foods section

I knew there was something oddly familiar about that weapon. Although our americansniper rifleis much different. When I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall I got to train with some of the British Snipers. I was a Tac-P in the military. For those of you who dont know what that is its the special forces group in the air force. Anyway, I was trained as a sniper also (maraine sniper school, best around imo). I must tell you, the british have highly trained and skilled soldiers, I was very impressed.
